Abstract

A procedure has been described for the centrifugal fractionation of the cellular particulate components of CNS tissue infected with poliomyelitis virus. A study of the distribution of infectivity among these components revealed that approximately four-fifths of the virus is found free in the submicroscopic particle fraction. The validity of the conclusion that the virus is located in this fraction of the intact neuron is discussed.
