Induction of simian virus 40 antigen in BSC1 transformed cells.

Heating to 45 C induced in virus-free clones of simian virus 40 (SV40) transformed BSC(1) cells the synthesis of SV40 viral antigen, as evidenced by immunofluorescence. Up to 3.8% of the cells exhibited viral antigen 72 hr after heating to 45 C for 30 min. Depletion of arginine from the medium of the heated cells enhanced and increased the percentage of cells synthesizing viral antigen to 11%. Cytosine arabinoside completely inhibited the induction of the viral antigen. No infectious virus was recovered from the cells in which synthesis of viral antigen was induced. However, small amounts of infectious SV40 virus were rescued from the BSC(1) transformed cells by fusion with rabbit kidney cells or by treatment with mitomycin C.

A comparative study of four live measles vaccines in Israel.

While an earlier live measles vaccine induced a high degree of immunity it also caused clinical reactions of variable severity in some vaccinated children. A number of attenuated measles vaccine strains have been developed to avoid these problems, and this paper reports the results of small-scale trials with 3 attenuated measles vaccines and a new further-attenuated vaccine on children from 9 months to over 4 years old.All 4 vaccines produced a satisfactory serological response. The new further-attenuated vaccine (Moraten) produced less fever and fewer rashes in the vaccinated children than the other vaccines which had been extensively tested by other workers. The incidence of severe reactions and complications was low with all vaccines.
