The culture experiments to date had shown that the viscerotropic affinity of the Asibi strain could be readily reduced without at the same time producing a change in the neurotropic affinity.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

French neurotropic virus and the 17E variant of the Asibi virus, cultivated in mouse embryo tissue, invariably produced a fatal encephalitis when inoculated into the brains of rhesus monkeys.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

What was considered of equal significance was that the culture virus did not become more neurotropic; in fact, it was less neurotropic for experimental animals than the mouse-adapted French virus then in use for human vaccination.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

In the culture experiments, attempts were made to propagate the virus in as wide a variety of tissues as possible, in the hope that in one the desired attenuation of both the viscerotropic as well as the neurotropic affinities would occur.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

The Asibi virus with which all these culture experiments were undertaken is highly pathogenic, not only for monkeys by parenteral inoculation but also for mice by intracerebral inoculation; that is, its viscerotropic as well as its neurotropic affinities are highly developed.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

On the theory that since the virus becomes more neurotropic when maintained for a long time in brain tissue (as by passage in mice) it might lose this affinity if cultivated in the absence of nerve tissue, experiments were undertaken to determine the influence of nervous tissue on the prolonged culture of the virus.    From Wordnik.com.  [Max Theiler - Nobel Lecture] Reference

Alternatively, in these cases NGF may subserve other functions which may somehow be linked with the poisonous action of snake venom, one can envisage the possibility that a highly specific neurotropic molecule such as NGF is utilized by reptiles as a carrier of other neurotoxins devoid of specific receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Lecture The Nerve Growth Factor: Thirty-Five Years Later] Reference
