Results indicated that the majority of these cells contained latent, non-infectious virus and offered a useful tissue culture model for the study of measles virus in brain tissue. AGMBr cells infected with Edmonston ‘wild’ or SSPE-1 (an isolate from a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) could not be maintained beyond 2 passages., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-20-3-401
