In-vitro demonstration of cell-mediated immunity to vaccinia virus in man [PDF]
Cell mediated immunity to vaccinia virus in man was studied by lymphocyte transformation. Vaccinia antigen, propagated on BHK-21 and Vero cells, could be used successfully for in-vitro testing after partial purification as well as crude infectious ...
