The main object of the experiment which this note describes was to determine whether influenza virus could be preserved by the ‘peptone-plug’ method of drying which has recently been found to be very effective for bacteria (Annear, 1956). Two other methods of preservation were also compared in parallel with it: (a) the centrifugal freeze-drying technique (Fry & Greaves, 1951) and (b) deep-freezing.
