Abstract excerpt
Two strains of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), RSV 2B and RSV 3A (representing subgroup B and A virus respectively) were cold-adapted by passaging in Vero cells for up to 42 weeks at successively lower temperatures down to 20 degrees C. Successful cold adaptation of the virus population was de...
