Abstract
Summary
Cold hemagglutination studies were undertaken to explore the possibilities of this method for neurotropic viral analysis. Preliminary experiments had indicated that such an approach might provide additional differential criteria for the viruses of the encephalomyocarditis family. The observations reported here suggest that while M.M., EMC, and Columbia—SK viruses instigate increased cold hemagglutinin production in rabbits, Mengo encephalomyelitis virus is without such effect. Further work is indicated using larger numbers of animals of more uniform age and genetic constitution.
