Propagation of Group A Coxsackie Viruses in Primary Human Amnion Cells. I. Cytopathic Changes Produced by 5 More Serotypes. ∗

Summary

Seventeen serotypic Group A Coxsackie viruses, representing prototypes established by Dalldorf and Sickles(5,10) have been propagated in tissue cultures. Sixteen strains produced CPE in primary human amnion cells; another (type 7) which has failed thus far to affect amnion cells produced CPE in renal cells obtained from monkeys. Among these 17 Group A viruses were 5 serotypes heretofore not associated with CPE in tissue cultures.
