The etiological agent of genetically restricted, age-dependent polioencephalomyelitis of mice (the ADPE agent) and several isolates of lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) were compared by biological, physical-chemical and antigenic criteria. The ADPE agent may be a strain of LDV. Like LDV the ADPE agent induced a selective elevation of plasma enzymes and splenomegaly in mice. The enzyme-elevating activity and the paralytogenic activity of the ADPE agent preparations belonged to the same virus. The ADPE agent demonstrated LDV-like replication kinetics in vivo and in vitro. The ADPE agent required primary mouse macrophages for in vitro replication, as does LDV. The LDV isolates induced a paralytic disease with ADPE-like lesions in the spinal cords of immunosuppressed C58 mice. LDV isolates showed stronger dependence on strain and age of mouse for the induction of paralysis than did the ADPE agent. LDV isolates and the ADPE agent exhibited indistinguishable morphologies, buoyant densities, structural protein patterns and virion RNA sedimentation rates. They displayed strong antigenic cross-reactivity, as determined by cross-protection in vivo and by radioimmunoassay.
