Detroit-6 Strain of Human Epithelial-Like Cells: Virus Susceptibilities

Abstract

The susceptibility of the Detroit-6 strain of human epithelial-like cells to a selected group of viruses has been described. Whereas influenza viruses could not be propagated and did not cause cellular degeneration, poliomyelitis viruses, a Coxsackie virus, and a strain of herpes simplex virus multiplied within these cells and produced cytopaihogenic effects.
