...core gets into a cell remained a mystery, even after Dr. Robley C. Williams, a member of Stanley's California team, devised the method of plating the particles with gold or uranium to get clearer electron micrographs. Then, two years ago at Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, Drs. Sydney Brenner and Robert W. Home made an illuminating refinement on electron micrography, revealing far more intimate details of virus structures and differences, and clues to how viruses work...
Enders tried again. Drs. Alice Woodruff and Ernest Goodpasture of Vanderbilt University had recently given virology (and vaccination) a big boost with the discovery that some viruses grow well in incubating eggs. Enders put fluid from a measles patient into eggs, but had no luck. Searching for a better medium, he turned his attention to embryonic tissue culture, sensing that growing viruses in live cells-the technique that Harrison pioneered-held unrealized possibilities...
...vaccine made from a live but attenuated virus is better than any made with killed virus: "I don't think you can do better than nature itself does when it gives you the disease." Back at tissue culture after the war, Enders was joined by two research fellows. Drs. Frederick C. Robbins and Thomas Weller. The work was bedeviled by bacteria contaminating the cultures, making them useless before a slow-starting virus multiplied. Virologists began adding antibiotics to their cultures to keep out bacteria; Enders hit upon a particularly successful combination of penicillin and streptomycin. Yet even in uncontaminated...
...member of the faculty staff (along with Prof. Paul Bohannan, Northwestern University, Prof. Morroe Berger, Princeton University, Drs. Eissien-Udom and Paul Sigmund of Harvard) that participated in the Nigerian Teacher Training (Peace Corps) Program this summer at Harvard. I feel impelled to comment upon the unfortunate event involving the Harvard-trained Peace Corps Volunteers now at the University College, Ibadan, West Nigeria...
...practice, Drs. Atkins and Seaman and others on the Columbia-Presbyterian team, pick patients with advanced cancer to treat with oxygen and radiation. According to a carefully devised procedure, such a patient gets an anesthetic injected into his veins, and a rubber hose is threaded down his windpipe so that he will not choke while asleep. His eardrums are pricked so that oxygen pressure will not perforate them. Monitoring devices, including a microphone that allows the anesthesiologist to listen to respiration, are attached to the body. The patient is put on a stretcher that is placed in the oxygen chamber...
