PRESERVATION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MAMMALIAN CELLS TO VIRAL INFECTION FOLLOWING STORAGE IN THE FROZEN STATE
Abstract
The research was concerned primarily with determining whether the susceptibility of mammalian cells to virus infection is altered by freezing and storage under liquid nitrogen. Although some investigations were made with so- called altered cell strains such as HeLa and KB, primary Rhesus monkey kidney cells were used as the biological system for most of this research. These primary cells were chosen because of their wide range of virus susceptibility, their relative ease of growth in vitro and the consistency of reproducibility of experimental results.
