InfantiIe Paralysis
Vaccine May Result
From Experiments
Tests With Animals
Soid to Show Promise
Of Giving immunity
3, the Associated Press.

3! the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April ia report on
experiments which may lead to the
development of vaccine giving
immunity against infantile paralysis
provoked discussion at gathering
of scientists here today.
The experiments were described to
the Federation of American Societies
for Experimental Biology by Dr.
Claus w. Jungeblut and DR.. Murray
Sanders of Columbia University.
In their hunt for a vaccine
scientists long have tried vainly to
weaken the poliomyelitis virus so
that it would give protection with
out also causing the disease.
The New York researchists re-
ported that they have succeeded in
changing the virus so that it pro-
tected monkeys against one strain of
the disease.
Human virus of infantile paralysis
was injected into monkeys, which
became infected. Then the living
virus was transferred TO rats and
then to mice. The virus of the
diseased rats and mice was trans
ferred to healthy monkeys, which
remained free of the disease.
That the virus had undergone a
change became more evident in a
further step in the experiments. The
investigators injected healthy mon
keys with the original virus which
had caused disease and "a hours
later injected the mouse virus. The
monkeys did not contract the
disease
The researchists emphasized that
the experiments applied only to the
disease strain from which the mouse
virus came, and indicated that they
were not ready for human tests.
