New Methods For
Detecting Polio
Being Developed
(Copyright 1949 bv UP1
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug.
2 (UP) A new test tube method
to "finger-print" the viruses that
cause polio has been developed
here, and eventually may be a
powerful weapon in devising
means to control the disease.
The method, being perfected
after six years of tedious re-
search work, financed by the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, is expected to elimi-
nate to a great extent the nec-
essity of using monkovs in de-
termining and classifying the
polio viruses. It has been estab-
lished that there are at least
three groups of polio viruses-
each different from the other.
The test tube development
here may well give medical sci-
entists quick answers to such
Questions as what variety of po-
lio is striking, and what group
of persons may be susceptible to
the disease. It possibly may be
a diagnostic test.
Scientists at the George Wil-
liam Hooper Foundation for
medical research of the Univer-
sity of California said that the
new test tube method might have
some value as a diagnostic tool,
but that the real importance will
be to speed up the search for a
quick, inexpensive way to "fin-
ger-print" the viruses as to their
identity and their virulence.
