Abstract
THE infectivity of an aqueous extract from a Rous sarcoma is lost if cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (‘Cetavlon’), a cationic detergent, is added to the active extract1. By further addition of an acid colloid substance, like ribonucleic acid2 or heparin, to the non-infective system infectivity is restored.
