Abstract excerpt
Recent field isolates of measles virus (MV) obtained by using B95-8 cells have been reported not to agglutinate African green monkey red blood cells (AGM-RBC). Vero cell-adapted, plaque-forming strains derived from three field isolates at the third passage in Vero cell cultures (T8Ve-3, T11Ve-3 and N13Ve-3) also exhibited markedly decreased binding activity, as determined by infectivity-absorption and...
