MVA was isolated by serial passage of CVA (Ankara) strain in chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) in the laboratory of Professor Anton Mayr, then given to the National Insitutes of Health, where it was plaque purified three times in CEF cells. VR-1566 was derived by limited further passage of stock received from the NIH in the SL-29 chicken embryo fibroblast cell line [ATCC CRL-1590].
