Abstract
Summary
An organ culture technique was used to investigate the possibility that latent viruses are present in spontaneously aborted human fetuses. All attempts to isolate virus from 74 human embryos were negative. In the course of these studies, numerous cell strains were derived from human tissue, and cytological features of these cells are described. Multinucleated giant cells were frequently found, but chromosomal aberration in this material was infrequent.
