Microneutralization Test for the Determination of Mumps Antibody in Vero Cells

PMCID: PMC376942  PMID: 5485719

Abstract

A sensitive and reproducible test for the determination of mumps serum-neutralizing antibody with Vero cells grown in disposable plastic microtiter plates is described. Serum end point titers obtained by this method showed excellent correlation with those obtained by the primary chick embryo tissue culture-hemadsorption tube test.
