title: Effect of polycations on sensitivity of BALD-3T3 cells to murine leukemia and sarcoma virus infectivity.
abstract: Polybrene or diethylaminoethyl dextran, when added with murine leukemia or sarcoma virus inocula, significantly increased virus infectivity of BALB/3T3 cells. Residual polycation concentrations were nontoxic.
