...while his lab was partly financed by a grant from the National Foundation, Enders took a flyer in polio virus culture. With Drs. Frederick Robbins and Thomas Weller, he found a way to grow the virus so that a safe vaccine could be made. For this work, on which the Salk and all later polio vaccines are based, the trio got a 1954 Nobel Prize. Harvard recognized Dr. Enders' greatness by naming him a full professor in 1956. Perpetual Fame. In 1953 Enders asked Dr. Thomas Peebles, assistant in his lab at Children's Hospital in Boston, whether...
...Drs. Enders and Katz soon found that in monkeys Edmonston virus causes a mild infection that provokes the subject to make antibodies against the measles virus. And antibody preparations from monkeys' blood provided the first sure test for the presence of measles virus...

Drs. James A. Chalmers and Roger J. Fothergill, in the British Medical Journal, report use of the gadget in 100 cases at Worcester. The metal cup is inserted in the opening of the birth canal and applied to the baby's skull. Pressure is reduced to half an atmosphere...
