Popis: | Summary Three strains of the virus of lymphocytic choriomeningitis were maintained by serial passages through mice and guinea-pigs. The substrains thus obtained possessed marked meningo-encephalotropism but differed in viscerotropic affinities. The meningo-encephalotropism was maintained by both species. Viscerotropism was lost in the mouse, but restored or imparted to the virus by the guinea-pig. Significant alterations in the pathogenesis of experimental disease were contingent upon the differences in viscerotropic affinities of the substrains. |
