Good Polio Vaccine Seeds Available But No Garden
New York bacteriologist Dr Herald Cox of Lederle laboratories says there is a method to purify infantile paralysis virus to potential vaccine levels but no way to produce large quantities. He notes monkeys offer the best growth so far, yet volumes are small compared with influenza in eggs, and polio has not been grown in a hatching egg. He hopes growth in animals or chick embryo will solve the issue.
