Abstract
Lesions considered typical of aleutian disease developed in 3 of 4 mink inoculated with DNA extracted from spleens of mink with viral plasmacytosis. Control mink inoculated with buffered saline or DNA treated with specific enzyme (DNAase) remained normal. It is inferred that the infective DNA corresponds to viral DNA. This DNA preparation was used in an attempt to infect tissue cultures from mink testis cells but the results were equivocal.
