Abstract
Summary
AGMK and PHA tissue culture techniques are comparable systems for isolation of rubella virus from clinical specimens, although the AGMK system offers practical advantages. In order to demonstrate minimal amounts of rubella virus in either system multiple subcultures must be utilized. Employing Sindbis virus-interference, the agent of rubella may also be demonstrated in tissue explants in PHA cultures.
