Abstract
The isolation and serologic identification by cross neutralization tests showed the presence of simian foamy virus serotypes 1 and 2 in primary rhesus monkey brain, spleen, and kidney cell cultures. The frequency of isolation of foamy viruses from brain and spleen cell cultures was 86% and from kidney cell cultures it was 36%. In primary spleen cell cultures 50% of the foamy virus isolates were type 2. Of the 14 animals from which foamy virus was isolated, only 4 demonstrated serum neutralizing antibody to the homologous serotype. The cytopathology of foamy viruses in the primary cell cultures is described.
