“…Virus isolation was performed in primary rhesus monkey kidney (Melnick et al, 1972;Melnick & Wimberly, 1985) and with monovalent type 3 antisera, intratypic serodifferentiation, and characterization of phenotypic markers (McBride, 1959;Nakano et al, 1966) were originally performed in the laboratory of Prof. I. Dömök (Domok et al, 1961(Domok et al, , 1962Dömök, 1971Dömök, , 1984Kátay, 1961). For molecular characterization, isolates (second or third passage in primary monkey kidney cells) were passaged at 37 1C once in L20B (mouse L cells expressing the human poliovirus receptor) and again in RD cells (human rhabdomyosarcoma ATCC CCL 136) to produce high-titer cultures (Pipkin et al, 1993;Wimmer et al, 1993).…”
