Abstract
Summary
The hemagglutinating activity for the simian enterovirus SV2 has been shown to be closely related to the infectious virus particle. The time of its appearance in the cell and the period required to reach maximum titer parallel the synthesis of infectious virus. Furthermore, it has the same buoyant density as infectious virus and adsorbs to RBC at the same rate. Exposure to ultraviolet light, and to white light in the presence of neutral red, destroys infectivity without affecting the hemagglutinin. Both properties are quickly destroyed by heat.
