Summary
Characteristics of quinone-induced carcinoma and fructose-induced sarcoma were described from their susceptibility to neurotropic viruses. Fixed rabies virus did not propagate at all in either tumor. Since Col-SK and WEE viruses multiplied well in the carcinoma, their growth pattern in the tumor was analyzed, together with their invasiveness into the central nervous system.
Col-SK virus elicited marked retardation of tumor growth. WEE, EEE and Japanese encephalitis viruses did not show any such activities.
