Abstract
Little is known of the sequence of biochemical events of arbovirus replication in insect cells. Therefore, we have begun to examine the properties of ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from uninfected and Sindbis virus infected Aedes albopictus (Singh) cells. Stevens (1970) has described the growth of Sindbis virus in this cell line. Although no obvious ill effects were produced on the cells, infectious titers as high as 108 plaque forming units (pfu) per ml were obtained.
