Abstract

SARMIENTO PEREZ, Luis et al. Evidence for nonpoliovirus enterovirus multiplication in L20B cells. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2007, vol.59, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3054.

Stool specimens collected from 1 515 healthy children following a mass vaccination campaign in Cuba were tested for poliovirus excretion using L20B cell lines. In spite of the selectivity of this cell line for polioviruses (117/129; 90.7 %) some other nonpolio enteroviruses (12/129; 9.3 %), such as coxsackie A virus types 4, 8 and 10, can grow in L20B cells.

Keywords : Poliovirus; L20B cell line; coxsackievirus; eradication.
