THE INFLUENCE PRODUCED BY HIGH GAMMA-RAY DOSES ON SOME PROPERTIES OF THE VIRUSES (in Russian)
The effects produced by gamma rays on infectious, hemagglutinating, and antigenic properties common to the viruses of sneall-pox vaccine and those of infiuenze (grippe) and poliomyelitis were studied. All the viruses were grown on a monostratal culture of a renal epithelium taken from semians. Complete suppression of the vital activity appeared with a dose of 15 x 10/sup 5/ gm for the virus of influenza, 20 x 10/sup 5/ for the virus of small-pox, and 40 x 10/ sup 5/ for that of poliomyelitis. Hemagglutinins of the infiuenza and smallpox viruses became fulIy destroyed at a dose of 30 x 10/sup 5/ gm. The irradiation caused the antigenic properties of the viruses under study to decline.
