| Abstract: | Infectious lactic dehydrogenase-elevating virus propagated in primary cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages in the presence of 3H-uridine and isolated by isopycnic centrifugation was found to have a density of 1.12 g/cm3. Ribonucleic acid extracted from the virus by treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate was single stranded with a sedimentation coefficient of approximately 48S. |
