Materials and MethodsCells.--Primary mouse embryo cultures were prepared by trypsinization of minced 17-19-day old CAF-1 embryos. Cells were grown with Eagle's minimal essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% calf serum, 100 U of penicillin, 100~ g of streptomycin, and 50~ g of neomycin per ml.Animals.--DBA/2N and C57BL/6N mice were obtained from the breeding colony at the National Institutes of Health. BALB/CJ, CBA/J, and A/J mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine. CD-1 mice were obtained from Charles River Breeding Laboratories, Inc., Wilmington, Mass. Mice were maintained on Purina NIH Rat and Mouse Ration containing 5.0% fat and 23.5% protein. Animals were allowed free access to food and water except where noted. Unless stated otherwise, male mice were used in all experiments. Virus.--The M variant of EMC virus passaged in mice (MH22) was kindly supplied by Dr. J. Craighead (11, 12). 6-wk old DBA/2N mice were infected intraperitoneally (ip) with 0.1 ml of a 1: 50 dilution of this material. 5 days later a 10% mouse heart suspension was prepared in Eagle's MEM with 5% calf serum by homogenization in a TenBroeck all glass tissue grinder. A 10% suspension of hearts from uninfected mice was prepared in the same way. The virus titer was determined by inoculating 0.2 ml of appropriate dilutions of this material onto confluent monolayers of primary mouse embryo cells in 15-mm plastic Petri dishes. After adsorption for 1 h at 37 C, cultures were overlayed with Eagle's MEM containing 5% calf serum and 2% methylcellulose (Methocel, 4000 cps; Fisher Scientific Co., Fairlawn, NJ). Monolayers were stained 4 days later with a 1: 10,000 dilution of neutral red and plaques were counted within 12 h. The titer of the stock virus pool by this method was 2.5 X 105 plaque-forming units (PFU)/ml.
