The thermolability of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) was studied between 31-55.degree. C using 2 different strains. The loss of infectivity followed 1st order kinetics except at the highest temperature. The values of the thermodynamic parameters indicated that the mechanisms involved above and below 45.degree. C are clearly distinct. The rates of inactivation were greater at alkaline than at neutral pH, yet the nature of the reaction appeared unchanged. Using 4 independent stocks of mutagenized virus, selection of thermal-resistant mutants by survivor selection at 38.degree. C failed. Thermal-resistant mutants were consistently obtained at 54.degree. C. The latter did not show any increased stability at 38.degree. C, confirming the fact that a different inactivation process takes place at high and at physiological temperatures.
