Could the alterations be caused by a virus? Dr..eGraham and Dr. Simino- vita, who have devoted years to explain it. • Are the changes in the cells malignant? They possess some of the char- acteristics of malignant cells, but so far there is no conclusive the study of viruses, are not proof. One experiment of Dr. Me. Culloch involves taking cells „ „ from a mouse, growing them in mrsvv Connor culture until they alter, and then • . injecting the altered cells back* into the same mouse again. "So Dies n 1 u p far no tumors have been induced in this way," Dr. McCulloch ex- plained. Up until a few years ago, the Commonest way to grow cells in culture was to keep them in horse serum, plasma, blood or some other substance from a living animal. The cells would flourish and multiply as lopg as this natural medium was renewed from time to time, For a number of years, Dr. Parker has been working on a completely synthetic mixture of chemicals which are known to be Mrs. Gladys Harkness, Hunts - required .by the cell.
