Summary

The effect of polyionic compounds on the plating efficiency of some strains of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) was studied in BHK-21, C-13 cells. Plaques produced by VSV Indiana1 and Indiana2 showed similar morphological characteristics, while small differences in size were encountered.

The effect of polyionic compounds on the size of plaques produced by VSV New Jersey, Indiana1 and Indiana2 was not significant.

VSV Indiana3 produced plaques with a morphology and size (irregular edges and minute) completely different from the other VSV studied. Its plaque forming ability was completely inhibited when 100 [Μg/ml of dextran sulfate were added, and significantly enhanced when the same concentration of DEAE-dextran was used.
