When Dr. Max Theiler, now of Manhattan's Rockefeller Foundation, discovered that the virus could be fostered in mouse brains, investigators experimented with the use of his mouse-brain virus as a vaccine. They found that while monkeys inoculated with it developed immunity to yellow fever, they were also likely to develop inflammation of the brain, in many respects as bad as yellow fever.
