Abstract
Experiments were conducted to investigate the possibility of the production of interference by ultraviolet inactivated (UVI) Parainfluenza 3 (Para 3) and Echo 21 viruses with active Para 3 and Echo 21 viruses in tissue culture (TC).
Four major experiments were conducted: the effect of UVI Para ~ on active Para 3 in rhesus monkey kidney cell (MKC) tissue culture; the effect of UVI Para 3 on active Para 3 in HEp-2 TC; the effect of UVI Para 3 on Echo 21 in MKC TC; and the effect of UV! Echo 21 on Echo 21 in MKC TC. The rates of production of cytopathic effect {CPE) by active viruses at a ·tissue culture infective dosage of 100% in TC was suppressed to a greater degree by UVI Para 3 and active Echo 21, than when the same virus combinations were used in HEp-2 TC.
