Enders could then expand his own research on mumps, and with additional funding from military sources, he was able for the first time to employ a personal technician and a succession of junior associates.
Enders and Dr. Alfred L. Florman then investigated the influence of antiserum and complement on the growth of vaccinia virus in roller cultures and the persistence of this virus in Maitland-type cultures.
Enders immediately turned all the resources of his laboratory to the task of developing a measles vaccine based on the attenuated, avianized strain, and the results of their labors were published in a series of papers in the New England Journal of Medicine's July 28, 1960 issue.

John Enders served as a pilot in World War I, sold real estate, and studied English literature and Germanic and Celtic languages at Harvard with the idea of becoming a teacher.
Enders taught at Harvard until 1946, when he was asked to become director of a new laboratory for research in infectious diseases at the Children's Medical Center.

Enders and colleagues were successful in part because they added antibiotic (penicillin and/or streptomycin) to their cell cultures to kill the bacteria"a technique that had not, of course, been available to researchers working in the pre-World War II era.
While Enders and colleagues" 1949 paper is widely acknowledged to be a turning point in poliomyelitis research"many, including World Health Organization poliovirus eradication researchers, credit this piece of science with paving the way for the development of both the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines"poliovirus was not actually isolated by these investigators, either.
Despite this overstatement, Enders, Weller, and Robbins were the first to prove that a transmissible agent associated with poliomyelitis could be propagated in cells in the laboratory, and that cell cultures could be substituted for live animals in studying such transmissible agents.

This was more important than actually making the vaccine and it is why Enders, et al received the Nobel Prize and not Salk and Sabin.

Viruses cannot be grown, as bacteria can, in nutrient substances, and so a method had been developed for growing them in a living chick embryo.
In 1948, Enders and his colleagues prepared a medium of homogenized chick embryo and blood and, adding penicillin to suppress bacteria, managed to grow a mumps virus in it.
But using their method, Enders managed to grow the virus successfully on tissue scraps obtained from stillborn human embryos, and then on other tissue.
