Posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis associated with the formation of hepatocyte cytoplasmic tubules was experimentally transmitted to chimpanzees by i.v. inoculation of a proven-infectious plasma that had been pelleted and microfiltrated or purified by a combination of pelleting and rate-zonal banding. A factor VIII-derived non-A, non-B tubule-forming agent evidently will pass through an 80-nm membrane filter and that it can be recovered from infected plasma by use of a purification procedure that assumes the non-A, non-B tubule-forming agent is a small, enveloped virus. In combination with the known sensitivity of the non-A, non-B tubule-forming agent to chloroform and its apparent lack of nucleic acid homology with hepatitis B virus, evidently at least 1 etiologic agent of human posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis may be a small, enveloped RNA virus.
