1917年,一种呼吸道病毒(1233株)引起流感大流行时,其抗原性与当时已分离出的甲型和乙型流感病毒无关。1950年分离出另外一株(jj),此株的抗原性似与1233株相关。根据临床、流行病学和血清学资料,被归为丙型流感病毒。试图用组织培养繁殖丙型流感病毒,长期未获成功,显然使其生物学研究推迟了。丙型流感病毒的一些培养方法,只是近来使用各种来源细胞培养才趋成熟。 In 1917, when a respiratory virus (1233 strain) caused a pandemic, its antigenicity was independent of the type A and type B viruses that had been isolated at the time. In 1950 separated from another (jj), this strain of antigen-like and 1233 strains. According to clinical, epidemiological and serological data, it is classified as Influenza C virus. Attempting to culture and propagate influenza C virus with tissue has long been unsuccessful and has obviously delayed its biological research. Some methods of culturing influenza C virus have only recently matured using various sources of cell culture.
