Abstract
THE recovery of a tumour-destroying virus from mouse ascites was recently reported by Bonnette1. It was serially transmissible and seemingly non-pathogenic in the absence of neoplastic cells. Filtrates of ascitic fluids and extracts of cells which harboured the contaminant were highly destructive for the Ehrlich carcinoma and also five other tumours.
