Hemagglutination with the GDVII Strain of Mouse Encephalomyelitis Virus

Abstract

Suspensions of mouse brains infected with the GDVII strain of mouse encephalomy-elitis virus cause agglutination of human Group O RBC at 4[degree]C. Anti-GDVII virus serum inhibits hemagglutination by the agent as also does anti-FA virus serum. GDVII virus is adsorbed by human RBC at 4[degree]C and rapidly elutes from them at 37[degree]C. Three strains of poliomyelitis virus failed to show any evidence of hemagglutination.
