title: A novel method for increased yield of immunocompetent virus for vaccine production.
abstract: Cultured human cells exposed to the pesticide emulsifier Atlox, 6 to 8 h prior to Infection with influenza A virus, increased virus production approximately 10-fold. Antibodies against the 'enhanced virus' neutralized plaque formation and reacted equally well with non-enhanced virus in serological tests (haemagglutination-inhibition and radioimmunoassays). The procedure has great potential in cutting costs of production for some virus vaccines.
