Abstract excerpt
Objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of measles vaccine production in Vero cell culture. We constructed the full-length cDNA, pIC-MVAIK-F278Leu (small plaque-type) and pIC-MVAIK-F278Phe (large plaque-type) from the AIK-C measles vaccine strain attenuated from the Edmonston wild-type. MVAIK-S/B2 was rescued from pIC-MVAIK-F278Leu after two passages in B95a cells and MVAIK-SL/B2V1 was obtained...
