Abstract
Summary
Kidney cells from several different species of subhuman primates were cultured and infected with SV40. The cells were observed for 35 days, and the course of infection was studied. Cells from Cercopithecus mitis, Cercocebus atys, Papio cynocephalus and an unknown species of baboon were susceptible to the lytic effect of SV40 but were not quantitatively as sensitive as those from Cercopithecus aethiops.
