Abstract
Summary The Chilo Iridescent Virus (CIV) is a lipid-containing virus propagatedin vitro inChoristoneura fumiferana cell cultures. We have analysed the individual lipids of the viral membrane which appeared interesting in their relative amounts and mainly in the high proportion of phosphatidylinositol. This fraction represented about 27 per cent of the phospholipid extract. The lipid composition of the viral membrane was unchanged whether the virus was propagatedin vivo in larvae orin vitro in invertebrate cell cultures and was clearly different from that of the hosts.
