The viruses now classified as ECHO 22, 23, and 24 were isolated in monkey kidney tissue culture from rectal swabs of infants with diarrhea. The cytopathogenic effect of ECHO 22 and 23 viruses is often confined to the peripheral part of the culture. Difficulties were encountered with passage and adaptation of these viruses. ECHO 24 virus affects the whole culture. On monkey kidney monolayers ECHO 22 and 23 viruses produce round and regular plaques, and ECHO 24 irregular plaques. All viruses, except one strain of ECHO 24, yielded considerably higher titers under agar in plaque bottles than in tube cultures with fluid medium. The individual strains were shown to be antigenically homogeneous by means of plaque purification and testing of rabbit anti-sera prepared with purified virus against both original and purified virus. They were not pathogenic for newborn mice and exhibited no definite neuropathogenicity for cynomolgus monkeys after intraspinal and intra-cerebral inoculation. In neutralization tests they showed no cross-reactions with ECHO virus types 1 to 21, polioviruses 1 to 3, Coxsackie A9, B1 through B5 virus, and among each other. No serologic or other relation to adenovirus was found. ECHO 22 and 23 viruses were neutralized by human gamma globulin, while ECHO 24 virus was not, but was neutralized by individual human sera. Antigenic differences were shown among 3 strains of ECHO 22 virus. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: Authors
