Abstract
IT has been demonstrated recently that virus particles and double stranded viral RNA isolated from Penicillium stoloniferum (ATCC 14586) are potent inducers of interferon in animals1–3. We now report that this strain of P. stoloniferum contains three polyhedral viruses: two serologically distinct particles of similar size (25–30 nm diameter) and small numbers of a third larger particle (40–45 nm diameter).
