Abstract
PURIFIED preparations of tobacco mosaic virus have often been shown to be heterogeneous, some of the separated fractions being non-infective1. The latter are to some extent comparable with the ‘soluble antigens’ of animal viruses and have a bearing on the study of the mechanism of virus multiplication2. The following observations have been made on such fractions.
