Isolation of a Transmissible Agent Resembling Rubella Virus from an Apparently Healthy Human Embryo Lung Cell Culture

M. Butler and A. P. Goffe

Department of Virology, Wellcome Research Laboratories, Beckenham, Kent

A human embryo lung tissue culture was shown to have normal karyology and growth properties but unusual sensitivity to viruses. The latter was correlated with the presence of a persistent infection with an agent resembling rubella virus. Some properties of the agent are described and the evidence that it infected the cells in utero is discussed. Comment on the possible significance of these observations is made.

Received 26 July 1967; accepted 25 October 1967.
