title: Attenuation of herpesvirus saimiri for marmosets after successive passage in cell culture at 39 degrees C.
abstract: A variant of Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) stably attenuated for marmosets was isolated after serial passage of wild-type HVS in cell culture at 39 degrees C. Marmosets previously inoculated with attenuated virus experienced a significant delay in the development of lymphoma when challenged with wild-type HVS.
