abstract: Characterised cell banks are likely to be the most virologically satisfactory production system. In the past there have been numerous examples of contamination of biologicals by agents which may be difficult to detect. The certainty with which a cell can be thought satisfactory depends on the efficacy of the available methods of examination.
