title: Study of the behaviour of the mumps virus in different cell culture systems.
abstract: The Enders reference strain of the mumps virus was cultivated on various systems (chicken embryonated eggs, chicken embryo fibroblast cultures, Vero cell cultures) to develop a model of preparing and controlling the production of the mumps vaccine in Romania. The results have proved that the monolayer of chicken embryo fibroblast is a suitable cell culture system for the multiplication of the mumps virus, and on the Vero cells the virus can be quantified just like the live measles vaccine.
