He took brain tissue from polio-infected mice, chopped it up, put it in an alcohol solution, then precipitated the virus by spinning it in an ordinary laboratory centrifuge. He worked with MM (mouse-monkey) virus, which does not affect human beings; but his method, he believes, can be used to isolate viruses that attack humans. When that is done, researchers can begin work on a vaccine...
