THE USE OF ALASKAN GROUND SQUIRREL CELL CULTURES FOR VIRUS PROPAGATION,

Abstract

Brown fat and kidney tissues from the Alaskan ground squirrel were cultured successfully in vitro. The use of primary explant cultures of ground-squirrel kidney for virus cultivation revealed its suitability for the propagation of selected enteric and respiratory viruses. A possible extension of the findings of the study to problems of diagnostic virology is indicated. (Author)
