Abstract
A simple technique for preparing tissue cultures containing morphologically different types of brain cells from young and adult mice is described. After infection with Semliki forest virus cytopathic effects are slight. The cultures usually support virus multiplication for only a limited period and ultimately no infectious virus can be detected. However, one batch of cultures developed a persistent carrier state of infection.
