Key result
The GDVII strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus caused agglutination of human Group O RBC at 4°C, whereas three strains of poliomyelitis virus failed to show any evidence of hemagglutination.
The GDVII strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus causes hemagglutination of human Group O RBCs, unlike poliomyelitis virus strains.
Enables lab distinction of GDVII from poliovirus; leaves open diagnostic or pathogenic relevance in humans.
SummarySuspensions of mouse brain infected with the GDVII strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus cause agglutination of human Group O RBC at 4°C. Anti-GDVII virus serum inhibits hemagglutination by the agent as also does anti-FA virus serum. GDVII virus is adsorbed by human RBC at 4°C and rapidly elutes from them at 37°C. Three strains of poliomyelitis virus failed to show any evidence of hemagglutination.

Lahelle et al. (1949) studied Mouse encephalomyelitis virus infection. GDVII strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus vs. Poliomyelitis virus strains was evaluated on Hemagglutination of human Group O RBC at 4°C. The GDVII strain of mouse encephalomyelitis virus caused agglutination of human Group O RBC at 4°C, whereas three strains of poliomyelitis virus failed to show any evidence of hemagglutination.
