Abstract

The invention described herein provides a method for selecting a novel African Green monkey kidney (AGMK) cell substrate, its cultivation and serial passage and its subsequent characterization. The invention provides a method for the use of the cell substrate in the isolation, growth and serial passage of a large number of viruses, particularly rotaviruses, enteroviruses, respiratory viruses and hepatitis A virus. The invention provides a method for the utilization of this AGMK cell substrate for the production of live and killed virus vaccines.
