Abstract
Human salivary mucin and hog gastric mucin do not inhibit the hemagglutination induced by the PR8, LEE, and Swine strains of influenza virus and these mucins do not inhibit the multiplication of PR8 or LEE in the developing chick embryo. There was no turbidimetric or viscosimetric evidence of viral action on these mucins. Influenza virus was also unable to modify the conductivity of the human salivary mucin or the hog gastric mucin.
