title: Influence of preincubation of primary dog kidney cell cultures on the multiplication of attenuated mumps virus.
abstract: An attenuated mumps virus strain multiplied in primary dog kidney cells to significantly higher titres in cultures preincubated for 1-5 weeks at 20-25 degrees C before inoculation as compared with cultures infected immediately after their growth became confluent. The nature of this phenomenon is discussed.
