Abstract
THE ultrastructure of cells infected with SV40 alone has been described previously by several investigators1–4. The morphology of the internal component of measles virus in infected cells has also been described5–7. Single cells infected with these two viruses have not been reported, however. In a previous study, a mixed infection with both SV40 and measles virus was obtained in a lot of cell cultures prepared from the kidney of a sick green monkey8. Mixed infection with these two viruses was later experimentally induced in tissue culture, and doubly infected cells were noted on examination by light microscopy9. The present communication describes the electron microscopy of cells in cultures doubly infected with SV40 and measles virus, and observation of the fine structure of both viruses in the same nucleus.
