Method for preparing cultures of central neurons: cytochemical and immunochemical studies.

abstract：:Cell fusion was induced by brain extracts containing the scrapie virus and the virus of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The assay involved quantitation of colony-forming ability in a double selection system, strandardized against fusion induced by Sendai virus.
