Abstract
Conclusions
MM virus multiplied extensively in 9 serial passages in mouse testicular tissue in vitro and in 4 serial passages in human testicular tissue in vitro. Fluid from the last tissue of each series represented a 10-13 dilution of original inoculum. These experiments do not exclude the possibility that the virus may have multiplied in the very minute amounts of muscle tissue present in the cultures. The virus multiplied more slowly and persisted longer in human tissue than in mouse tissue.
