Intraperitoneal Susceptibility of Suckling Mice to MEF1 Poliomyelitis Virus.

Abstract
Suckling mice 4-15 days old inclusive are susceptible (50-75% mortality) to the intraperit. inoculation of a 10% brain-cord suspension of the suckling mouse adapted MEF1 strain of poliomyelitis virus. Considerable variation in the susceptibility of individual mice of a given age was observed. The possible usefulness of this technic in passive protection studies employing gamma globulin or other agents is pointed out.
