Title: EFFECTS OF DEUTERIUM OXIDE UPON POLIOVIRUS MULTIPLICATION

Journal Article · · Virology (U.S.)

The effects of deuterium oxide on the multiplication of CHAT, an attenuated type of poliomyeliths virus, was studied in cells of HeLa and of monkey kidney cells in primary cultures. Yields of virus obtained from deuterated cells were consistently higher than those obtained from controls. The incorporation of deuterium oxide in the growth media resulted in an increase in the average plague size of polio virus. (C.H.)
