Bacteriol. 91: Canine distemper virus (CDV) was inactivated by visible light. The virus was light-sensitive in fluid suspension (in vitro) as well as during intracellular replication (in vivo). The addition of calf serum or glutathione reduced the extent of inactivation. CDV was less sensitive when suspended in distilled water or in the amino acid or Earle's salts components of the minimal essential medium of Eagle than when suspended in the vitamin component of the minimal essential medium of Eagle or in riboflavine (0.1 mg per liter). These findings indicate that, whereas some ingredient of the medium may enhance light sensitivity, its presence is not necessary for light inactivation of CDV. It is proposed that some substance derived from the host cell and intimately associated with the virus particle serves to render CDV light-sensitive. Raab in 1900 (12) was first to report the destructive effect of visible light on microorganisms as mediated through photosensitizing dyes. Numerous investigators extended these findings to include bacterial and animal viruses (3, 6, 9, 10, 14). The effect of visible light in the absence of dyes, however, is a phenomenon which has received little attention. Skinner and Bradish (13) found that the infectivity of various viruses, when exposed to daylight, was diminished. Lozovskaia (7) found that during and after the process of lyophilization, in the presence of light, the infectivity of measles virus and the PR8 strain of influenza virus was greatly diminished. Cutchins and Dayhuff (4) demonstrated that measles virus in suspension was readily inactivated by visible light, a finding subsequently confirmed by Wallis and Melnick (15). A virus closely related to measles virus in several ways is canine distemper virus (CDV). Numerous workers reported striking similarities between these two viruses, including ether sensitivity (8), cytopathic effect (11), serological overlap (16), and size and morphology of the virus particle (17). It was of interest, therefore, to determine the effect of visible light on CDV. MATERIALS AND MErHODS Virus. The Onderstepoort strain of CDV was employed throughout this study. Stock virus was I A portion of these data were presented before the Federated Societies for Experimental Biology, Atlantic City, N.J., prepared by infecting monolayers of chick embryo cell culture (CECC) in 8-oz (ca. 240-ml) bottles. The cells were washed twice in Hanks' balanced sal solution (HBSS). Seed virus (0.5 ml) was adsorbed to the cell sheet for 0.5 hr at 37 C, after which cells were fed the minimal essential medium of Eagle (MEME) (5) containing neither phenol red nor calf serum. Infected cultures were incubated at 37 C until CDV cytopathic effect was visible in approximately 5) to 75% of the cell sheet. At this point, the cultures were frozen and thawed once, clarified by centrifugation at 250 X g for 15 min, and stored at -65 C until needed. The ph of the harvest fluids was approximately 7.4 and was not adjusted. Method of irradiation. The method of illumination was the same as that employed by Cutchins and Dayhuff (4). Virus suspensions in amounts of 5.0 ml were irradiated, unless otherwise stated. Control tubes were treated similarly, except that these tubes were covered with several layers of aluminum foil. Plaque assay. Titrations for infectivity of irradiated samples were performed by use of the plaque-assay system in CECC of Bussell and Karzon (2). Virus dilutions in log10 steps were made in HBSS. Three cell cultures were inoculated with 0.5-mil volumes of selected dilutions. Plaques were counted on the 11th day. End points were calculated and expressed in plaque-forning units (PFU) per milliliter. RESULTS Inactivation ofcd V by artificial light. To determine whether visible light would inactivate CDV, an 8.0-ml sample of the stock virus was exposed to illumination for 150 min. Samples were taken at 30-min intervals and were assayed for infec- 798

Riboflavine, a vitamin thought to have photosensitizing capacity (4), is an essential component of MEME. The riboflavine content of the spent harvest fluid was determined by microbiological assay with Riboflavin Assay Medium (Difco), and the flavin content was found to be even greater than that of fresh MEME. Virus suspensions in the presence of 0.06% gelatin were sedimented in a Spinco model L ultracentrifuge at 80,000 X g for 2 hr. The virus pellets were then suspended in solutions of each of the three major components of MEME made to standard concentration with a ph of 7.2. Virus was also suspended in riboflavine (0.1 mg/liter). Virus suspended in fresh MEME served as a control. After 60 min of exposure, the virus suspended in MEME, vitamins, or riboflavine showed essentially the same degree of inactivation: 99.8, 99.8, and 99.9%, respectively (Table 2). The virus suspended in Earle's salts was only 87.5% inactivated, whereas the amino acid suspension showed 95.0% inactivation. In calculating the per cent inactivation, the titer of the dark control at the end of the exposure period was taken as 100% survival. Effect of I hr of illumination on CDV when exposed at various times during the replication cycle. With the finding that CDV was light-sensitive in vitro, it was of interest to determine whether the virus was light-sensitive in vivo, that is, during intracellular replication. CECC monolayers in 2-oz bottles were infected with approximately 100 PFU of virus. The bottles were filled with 60 ml of MEME without phenol red and were incubated at 35 C. Starting at the end of the adsorption period and at intervals up to 13 hr, duplicate cultures were illuminated for 1 hr, after which they were drained of fluid medium and overlaid with agar. The illumination apparatus consisted of two General Electric RFL 2 photoflood bulbs, each fastened to a separate ring stand and positioned side by side over the infected CECC monolayers. The heat generated by the bulbs decreased with use; this necessitated vertical repositioning of the bulbs to maintain constant temperature inside the bottles of cell cultures. The distance between the bulbs and the monolayers varied from a maximum of 28 cm, upon installation of a new bulb, to a minimum of 23 cm, when the bulb was discarded, because of loss of intensity. The illumination equipment was housed in a refrigerator (4 C), and a fan was used to increase air circulation. Filling the bottles aided in dissipation of heat and eliminated any air space inside the bottles in which heat could accumulate during the illuniination period. A 2-oz prescription bottle filled with MEME and containing a thermometer was irradiated along with the infected cultures; it served to monitor the temperature of the monolayers. Under these conditions, a temperature of 37 to 38 C could be maintained inside the bottles. As controls, duplicate companion cultures were transferred to a dark incubator (38.5 C) during the time the experimental cultures were being illuminated. The results of this study are seen in Table 3. With the time of inoculation taken as zero time, the first column shows the time in the replication cycle at which a set of cultures was illuminated. Each set of cultures received 1 hr of illumination. The PFU per cent survival in each case is based on the plaque count of the control cultures for that particular time interval. The data indicate that CDV is light-sensitive throughout its replication cycle, being most sensitive during the first 2 hr of the cycle. There is a gradually increasing resistance from the 2nd through the 11th hr. At the 13th hr, there is a sharp increase in sensitivity, which probably coincides with the release of new virus. Too much significance should not be attached to minor variations in the per cent survival of the virus, for several reasons. There is considerable variation in the thickness of glass of 2-oz bottles, which would contribute to variations in intensity of light reaching various portions of the

Although photoflood bulbs were replaced every 4 hr, their intensity gradually decreased with time. This gradual diminution of intensity would affect, to some extent, the amount of virus inactivated at a particular time. DISCUsSION The finding that CDV, like measles virus, was sensitive to light was not wholly unexpected in view of their other similarities. That the virus could be protected to some extent by the addition of serum is in agreement with the findings of others (4, 13). This protection may be the result of the screening afforded by the slight turbidity resulting from the addition of serum to the virus suspension. However, Cutchins and Dayhuff (4) were able to protect measles virus by use of a sucrose,gelatin stabilizer which did not absorb any wavelengths in the visible spectrum. Wallis and Melnick (15) emphasized the effect of ph on the photosensitivity of dye-treated viruses. It would not seem, however, that the increased survival observed when the virus was suspended in the amino acid or salts portion of MEME was due solely to the difference between the ph of these menstrua (ph 7.2) and that of the harvest fluid (ph 7.4). In photodynamic inactivation, dissolved molecular oxygen and a sensitizing dye are both essential requirements (9). In the photoinactivation of CDV, the protection afforded by the addition of glutathione suggests that oxygen is involved in its loss of infectivity in the presence of light. Should photodynamic inactivation and photoinactivation of viruses be similar phenomena, it then remains to demonstrate the presence and to determine the 801 source of the light-sensitizing substance involved in photoinactivation. The findings reported here show that CDV was most sensitive to light when suspended in whole MEME or the vitamin portion of this medium. Further, the virus was equally light-sensitive when suspended in a solution of riboflavine. This would indicate that riboflavine functioned as a photodynamic sensitizing dye to render the virus light-sensitive. In 1960, Schaffer (Federation Proc. 19:405) showed that proflavine, a compound very similar in structure to riboflavine, possessed photodynamic capacity. If this were the case, then virus suspended in a menstruum without vitamins should no longer be sensitive. However, when CDV was suspended in distilled water or the other components of MEME, although it was less sensitive than that suspended in the vitamin component, over 85 % of its infectivity was destroyed. Wallis and Melnick (15) reported that measles virus grown in a riboflavine-free system retained its natural photosensitive state. McCabe (M.S. thesis, Catholic Univ. America, Washington, D.C., 1964) found vaccinia virus, whether derived from the chorioallantoic membrane or CECC, was light-sensitive. These findings indicate that, although the nutrients of a tissue culture system may contain a sensitizing substance, its presence is not necessary for light sensitivity. If photosensitivity is due to the presence of some sensitizing substance, that substance probably is derived from the intracellular environment of the host cell. In a study undertaken to determine the extent of light sensitivity, viruses representing the presently accepted groups of animal viruses (1) were examined (Cutchins, unpublished data). With certain exceptions, light sensitivity could be correlated with size and complexity of structure. Generally, the larger viruses possessing an outer envelope (1) were found to be light-sensitive. From the results of that study, it was postulated that, during the formation of the virus particle, some substance derived from the intracellular milieu becomes intimately associated with the mature particle, rendering it light-sensitive. This substance may be some host-cell flavin. CDV possesses the size and complexity (17) to have this sensitizing substance associated with the virus particle. The possibility remains, however, that light sensitivity is a unique and intrinsic characteristic of certain viruses. Until the sensitivity of rigidly pure suspensions of a virus or its nucleic acid are determined, this question cannot be finally answered. However, the practical importance of light sensitivity cannot be ignored in all operations involving sensitive viruses.
