Abstract
STEWART et al.1 described procedures for the preparation of rubella virus haemagglutinin in monolayers of BHK21 cells. Others expanded these studies to include extraction of haemagglutinin with high pH buffers from BHK21 suspension cultures infected with rubella virus2. Production of rubella virus haemagglutinin in an established line of African green monkey kidney cells (VERO) was recently reported3. We describe the production of haemagglutinin in the BS-C-1 line of African green monkey cells by two different strains of rubella virus and subsequent establishment of a chronically infected culture which continues to shed virus and haemagglutinin after serial passage.
