Suspensions and dried preparations of vaccinia virus were exposed to γ-rays in cobalt-60 sources. Suspensions completely inactivated by 6–8 × 105 rad. retained measurable immunogenicity. Dried preparations could not be completely in-activated even by doses of 11 × 106 rad., although the inactivation apparently followed first-order kinetics until about one particle in 107 survived, suggesting that the populations of vaccinia virus in the preparations were heterogeneous.
