Summary
Cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages were capable of supporting the growth of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), mengovirus, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-3 and MHV-S), and reovirus type 3. Age of the cultures and peritoneal stimulation of macrophages appeared to influence this capacity. Increased viral replication was found in cultures one or more days old and in cultures of stimulated macrophages. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated mouse lymphocytes were relatively resistant; only VSV and mengovirus were capable of replicating in these cells.
