Observations on 477 rhesus monkeys, inoculated intracerebrally in the routine control of individual lots of vaccine, were analyzed with respect to the substrain and dose of the 17d virus inoculated. The data for 8 groups of monkeys inoculated with different substrains of 17D virus reveal significant differences in the occurrence of circulating virus, in the immune response, in the onset and duration of febrile reactions, and in the incidence of encephalitic manifestations which serve to characterize the individual substrains. These differences are of importance since they can be correlated to some extent with the capacity of the substrains to stimulate both an immune response and encephalitic reactions in man. A study was made also of the relation between virus dose, the occurrence of circulating virus, and the immune response in subcut. inoculated monkeys. With a sufficiently wide range of virus doses, a clear-cut relation was shown. With the largest dose, circulating virus was almost suppressed while serum antibodies could be demonstrated by the 7th day. With the smallest dose, virus did not appear in the circulation until the 6th or 7th day and serum antibodies could not be detected until after the 11th day although the subsequent titcrs were significantly higher than those following the larger inocula.
