This study concerns the effects of neutral red, acridine orange, and light on the growth of virulent (Mahoney) and attenuated (LSc) polioviruses in monkey kidney cell cultures. Mature, infective virus incubated with the dyes for 1 hour in the absence of cells and then exposed to white light showed no reduction in titer. Virus grown in cells containing neutral red or acridine orange may be subsequently inactivated by light, thus indicating an incorporation of the dye into the developing virus. The effect of neutral red and light was the same for the virulent and the attenuated strains. The biological and chemical similarities between the quinonimide dyes (neutral red, toluidine blue) and the acridines (acridine orange, proflavine) are discussed.
