Abstract
Treatment of normal monkeys with stilbestrol produced no increase in resistance while treated castrates showed a marked increase in resistance to intranasal instillations of the virus. Stilbestrol treated animals which had resisted repeated intranasal instillations of virus although kept on stilbestrol showed no increased resistance to subsequent intracerebral inoculation.Keywords
