Abstract excerpt
Urabe AM9 mumps virus vaccine causes post-vaccination meningitis. Two variants of Urabe AM9 virus differ in their replication efficiency in human nerve cells, HN-A(1081) variant being more neurotropic than HN-G(1081). The effect of interferon (IFN) on viral replication and transcription was analyzed. Priming of nerve cells with IFN reduced more significantly the replication of HN-G(1081) variant (from 10(2.5) to...
