A state of persistent infection with parainfluenza type 1 virus (6/94 strain) was established in cultures of human and bovine brain cells. Following primary infection of human brain cells, viral cytopathic effect (CPE) and hemadsorption (HAD) depended on the multiplicity of infection. After persistent infection was established the virus rapidly became cell-associated; no CPE occurred and no viral antigen was detectable by HAD, immunofluorescence (FA), or immunoprecipitation. Infectious virus could be recovered only by fusion or cocultivation. This was in marked contrast with infected bovine brain cells, where, following primary infection, little or no CPE occurred. A productive infection rapidly evolved and persisted without CPE, but with 100 per cent HAD and FA positive cells.
