Studies of Avian Sarcoma and Erythroblastosis (Strain 13). II. Virus Susceptibility to Ether and Chloroform.

Abstract
Sensitivities of viruses to ether and chloroform have been used as an aid for virus classification. These reagents destroyed all detectable infectivity of S-13 virus as determined by wing web inoculation of chicks. Sensitivity of S-13 virus to these organic solvents appears to be identical to other members of the fowl leukosis complex viruses for which sensitivities have been established.
