Inactivation of MHV-3 Virus by Intestinal Content and Intestine of Normal Mice

Nature volume 203, pages 1196–1197 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

IN previous work we reported on certain biochemical changes in experimental (MHV-3 virus)1 and in human viral hepatitis2,3. This communication deals with the behaviour of MHV-3 virus4, eliminated with bile in the intestine of infected mice. Because of evidence of virus inactivation in the intestine, experiments were also carried out on the effect of intestinal content and intestine from normal mice on MHV-3 virus.
