HOST CONTROLLED VARIATION IN BACTERIAL VIRUSES
Open accessAbstract
Passage through new hosts or new tissues is a widely used method for altering the properties of viruses. In some instances selection of spontaneous mutants has been demonstrated to be the mechanism causing the variation (Luria, 1945). Nonhereditary mechanisms sometimes have been postulated, but since no such case has been analyzed sufficiently, it is often assumed that selection of mutants is the only possible mechanism. A detailed analysis of two cases of variation in two different bacterial viruses is reported in this paper. In both these cases we are dealing with nonheritable alterations stemming directly from passage through a new host and not with mutations. A somewhat similar case of host controlled variation involving other bacterial viruses has been reported recently by Luria and Human (1952).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
