Abstract
With the exception of the group B coxsackieviruses, RD [human rhabdomyosarcoma cell] cells are more sensitive than cynomolgus monkey kidney cultures for the isolation of a wide variety of enteroviruses from clinical specimens. Since regular access by many diagnostic laboratories to supplies of primary cell cultures is often difficult because of distance from source or cost factors, a simple cell culture system is proposed which should prove useful for the diagnosis of most of the important enterovirus infections.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
