Summary
Mutation rates toward the L plaque character in three S clonal populations obtained from a single ECHO virus 19 strain were investigated.
Determinations were performed on monkey kidney (MK) and human embryo (HE) cells respectively in single growth cycle experiment in order to reduce selection favouring the L virus progeny.
Mutation rate figures obtained differed 7.5 fold on MK and 19.4 fold on HE for two S clonal populations exhibiting a number of identical genetic characters.
The fact that mutation rate differences recorded in genetically similar S populations were greater on higher selective host cell system suggests that the apparent variation in mutability consists in dissimilarity concerning growth requirements of the resulted L mutants.
