Summary
A simple tissue culture method has been described by which Mengo encephalitis virus can be propagated in Ehrlich ascites cells. The carcinoma cells can be maintained for a period of at least 48 hours in a completely defined synthetic medium. The greatest yield of virus was obtained when a ratio of 1 million Ehrlich ascites cells to 1 mouse LD50 of Mengo encephalitis virus was employed. Preliminary results of some metabolic studies of normal and Mengo-infected ascites cell cultures are reported.
