PROPAGATION OF RABIES VIRUS IN CULTURES OF HAMSTER KIDNEY CELLS

Abstract

A strain of rabies fixed virus has been successfully cultivated in tissue cultures of hamster kidney cells. This confirms an earlier report by Kissling. In the experiments here recorded a special culture tube incorporating a dialyzing membrane made it possible to maintain the cells in continuous culture for many weeks. By using this technique it was possible to obtain culture fluids of high infectivity.
