Microneutralization test for the determination of mumps antibody in vero cells.

Morphological development of mumps virus in vero cells

Comparison of micro and macro titration for evaluation of potency of mumps vaccine

  Mass vaccination against viral infections such as mumps is a very noticeable and appropriate attempt in common health. Mumps infection has severe complications like deafness, infertility and meningitis. Attenuated live vaccine of mumps is produced and used to prevent the problems. Viral content in the monovalent vaccine is assayed with different methods. Nowadays international standards intro...

Evaluation of different continuous cell lines in the isolation of mumps virus by the shell vial method from clinical samples.

AIMS To compare prospectively the efficacy of the Vero, LLC-MK2, MDCK, Hep-2, and MRC-5 cell lines in the isolation of the mumps virus from clinical samples by means of the shell vial method. METHODS During an epidemic outbreak of parotiditis 48 clinical samples (saliva swabs and CSF) were studied. Two vials of the Vero, LLC-MK2, MDCK, MRC-5, and Hep-2 cell lines were inoculated with 0.2 ml o...

Persistent measles virus infection of the intestine: confirmation by immunogold electron microscopy.

This study sought to investigate persistent measles virus infection of the intestine: a novel protocol for immunogold electron microscopy was developed using a polyclonal anti-measles nucleoprotein antibody on reprocessed, formalin fixed paraffin wax embedded tissue sections. Antibody binding was detected using both immunoperoxidase and light microscopy on tissue sections, and 10 nm gold conjug...

بررسی وضعیت ایمنی کودکان سالم واکسینه نشده بر ضد بیماری اوریون در شهرستان کرج

This analytical observational and epidemiological study was done in order to evaluate the relative immunity to mumps in healthy and unvaccinated children in Karaj aged 4 to 7 years.Therefore, 194 serum samples were taken through no probability sampling and tested by hemagglutination inhibition test. For each of the samples dilution of 1/2 to 1/128 was tested using guinea pig red blood...
