Summary

After infection with human cytomegalovirus, rabbit lung fibroblasts showed, during the four week period of the experiment, cytopathic changes and virus-specific antigens demonstrable by fluorescent antibody. Infectious virus could be recovered from the infected cells by co-cultivation with human lung fibroblasts.
