A Virus of the in Established Cell Lines of Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

A reovirus-like agent has been isolated from an established cell line 67j25D-G. The virion was 68 nm in diam. with a distinct outer capsid. The virus particles contained at least five polypeptides with mol. wt. of 30, 40, 70, 100 and 120 (all × 10) and 10 segments of double-stranded high mol. wt. RNA. Viruses of the same type were detected in several cell cultures of obtained from different sources. The viral nucleic acid accounted for about 20% of the RNA in the cultured cells.
