In this work we report the mumps vaccine virus shedding based on the laboratory confirmed cases of the mumps virus (MuV) infection. The likely epidemiological sources of the transmitted mumps virus were children who were recently vaccinated with the mumps vaccine containing Leningrad-Zagreb or Leningrad-3 MuV. The etiology of the described cases of the horizontal transmission of both mumps vaccine viruses was confirmed by PCR with the sequential restriction analysis.

Two enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) for mumps antibody detection using the Enzygnost (Germany) and Parotit-screen (Russia) were comparatively assayed using sera of randomly assigned 70 healthy young adult volunteers. The neutralization test (NT) was performed for all sera using mumps viruses (MVs) of the relevant strains Enders and Leningrad-3. The proportion of positive results was significantly higher with the Parotit-screen than with the Enzygnost (80% versus 52.

The level and spectrum of humoral specific immunity were studied in 60 volunteers immunized with Russian mumps vaccine. Specific IgG levels were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and neutralization test using the Leningrad-3 (L-3) mumps virus (MV) vaccine strain and 5 heterologous MV strains of various genotypes (A, B, C, D, and H). The maximum functional activity of antibodies was recorded at an average of 18 months postvaccination.
