Phenotypic and genetic characterization of a next generation live-attenuated yellow fever vaccine candidate
We assessed the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of a yellow fever vaccine candidate, which was cloned from a YF-VAX substrain selected for growth in Vero cells (vYF-247), during the manufacturing process from the master seed lot (MSL) and working seed lot (WSL) through to the drug substance (DS)...
