Abstract
Summary
1. Growth of adult human uterus and human embryonic skin and muscle tissues in roller tube cultures is supported by media containing 90% of either bovine allantoic or bovine amniotic fluids. 2. Amniotic fluid medium produces a profuse outgrowth of clear cells, and does not affect the plasma clot; whereas allantoic fluid medium tends to produce wrinkling and darkening of the clot, and induces granularity in a less profuse outgrowth of cells. 3. Either fluid, used alone as the medium, permits the cultivation of Type 2 poliomyelitis virus.
