Abstract
SIRC cells, which have been shown to support plaque formation of rubella virus, were found to consist of a number of cell clones with different degrees of virus susceptibility. Clones isolated from the original SIRC cell population were classified by their ability to form plaques into 3 groups; namely clones producing 1) clear plaques, 2) pin-hole plaques, and 3) no plaques. It was pointed out that in some clones, these characteristics were relatively unstable during subcultivations. The most favorable concentration of sodium bicarbonate for plaque formation of rubella virus was 0.2–0.4%. The addition of DEAE-dextran prior to viral inoculation enhanced the efficiency of plaquing.
