Cell‐free viruses recovered from virus‐carrying cultures of the Niigata‐1, Kitaken‐1, and Biken strains of SSPE virus were examined for neurovirulence. The cell‐free viruses were prepared by freezing and thawing or by EDTA treatment of the virus‐carrying cultures and inoculated into adult mice intracerebrally. A considerable number of the inoculated mice showed clinical signs about 1 to 5 weeks after the inoculation. The first symptom was hyperreactivity, which was followed by paresis and myoclonus. All of the affected mice fell in paralysis and finally died. The virus could be recovered from the moribund mice by cocultivation of the brain cells with Vero cells. Immunofluorescence staining of the brain tissue revealed that infected cells containing viral antigens were distributed sparsely. No inflammatory feature, however, was observed in the brain as far as examined and neutralizing antibody against SSPE virus was not detected in sera from the mice inoculated with the cell‐free SSPE viruses.
