The rates of neutralization of Friend and Rauscher viruses in vitro by specific antisera were measured with the spleen focus assay method in order to obtain quantitative information on the antigenic relationship between these viruses. Sera were obtained from C3H mice pretreated with formalinized cel

โฆ Synopsis
Radiobiological and growth properties of a spleen focus-forming strain of Friend Leukemia Virus ( F V ) have been investigated with the spleen focus assay method. The sensitivity of FV to ultraviolet light (2537 A ) and to " T o y-rays was determined by irradiation of virus preparations in vitro to diferent doses and, at each radiation dose, measurement of the surviving fraction of spleen focus-forming activity of the virus in SIM mice. Bacteriophage T4 mixed with the virus preparations served as internal dosimeter, It was found that for UV irradiation, the D1,, of FV was 4.8 x lo3 ergs/mm2. For ionizing radiation, the Dlo of FV was 5.6 x lo4 rads.
