A reevaluation of the silver methenamine reaction as an electron stain has ensued from recent use of glutaraldehyde fixation alone. By this technique, three cell types of rat adrenal medulla were found: (i) the norepinephrine-containing cells showed selectively stained, irregular, black granules; (ii) the epinephrine-containing cells showed round, light-grey granules; and (iii) the third cell type showed round granules like those of epinephrine-containing cells, but black in color, similar to those of the norepinephrine-containing cells.

Herpes-like viruses were isolated from rhesus monkey peripheral blood leucocytes when co-cultivated with WI-38 cells. The virus was originally designated rhesus leucocyte-associated herpesvirus (LAHV) and subsequently called Herpesvirus mulatta (HVM). The original isolations were from juvenile rhesus monkeys shown to be free of antibody to rhesus cytomegalic virus. The virus could only be propagated in human or simian fibroblasts. Use of specific antisera developed from HVM showed no relationship between this virus and other herpesviruses. An electron microscopic study was undertaken to determine the morphology of Herpesvirus mulatta (HVM) in infected human fibroblasts.
