Abstract

Infectivity titers were determined for seven strains of measles virus by using various methods and cell lines. The use of B95-8 cells in a shell vial assay resulted in the highest infectivity titers. Our data suggest that B95-8 is the cell line of choice for the isolation of measles virus.
