Abstract
THE tissue culture growth of the mouse parotid tumour virus, referred to by Stewart et al.1 as “SE polyoma virus”, has led to the development of rapid methods for its demonstration and determination, and to practical and specific serological techniques for antibody determinations as well1–5. We have made preliminary observations on the distribution of antibodies in various mouse colonies and on the excretion of virus.
