THE SORPTION OF INFLUENZA VIRUS BY CHICKEN ERYTHROCYTES

Data are presented which indicate that the forces of attraction between influenza virus and chicken erythrocytes are governed by an orderly mechanism which effects a proportional distribution of virus between erythrocytes and suspending fluid. For a unit mass of erythrocytes, the ratio of combined (...

Sumario:Data are presented which indicate that the forces of attraction between influenza virus and chicken erythrocytes are governed by an orderly mechanism which effects a proportional distribution of virus between erythrocytes and suspending fluid. For a unit mass of erythrocytes, the ratio of combined (sorbed) virus to free (unsorbed) virus is sufficiently constant over a wide range of virus concentrations to indicate compliance with the laws of mass action, or, perhaps, with the laws of simple adsorption; however, the ratio of combined (sorbed) virus to free (unsorbed) virus appears to be a parabolic function of the total quantity of virus.
