This cell line has been preserved for decades and is continually put through cellular division to create more substrate for continued vaccine development. Today, the WI-38 cell line is used in the development of vaccines targeting varicella (chickenpox) rubella (in the MMR vaccine), hepatitis A, shingles (Zoster) vaccine, and rabies vaccines

The MCR-5 cell line cells are used to make today’s diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) vaccines, hepatitis A and B vaccines, polio and adenovirus vaccines. In 1985, US researchers developed cell line PER C6, which was taken from the retina of a carefully selected, aborted baby. It was used in the development of vaccines for Ebola and HIV.

Multiple aborted baby cell lines were procured for development of Rubella vaccine.
