Summary

Attempts to recover dengue virus from 5 acute phase human serum specimens which had been stored at CO2 icebox temperatures for a period of 12 years were carried out in hamster kidney cell cultures. The one successful isolation attempt yielded a type 2 dengue fever virus. The importance of the procedures used for increasing the probability of recovery of viruses from virus-containing materials was discussed.
