Polio vaccine and retroviruses [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
In this paper we consider the main steps in the process of manufacture of oral polio vaccine and assess the probable clearance factor for HIV retrovirus at each step. We conclude that the processes employed would have eliminated retrovirus contamination for all practical purposes.
