The Life of a Virus: Tobacco Mosaic Virus as an Experimental Model, 1930-1965 Paperback - 2001 - 1st Edition
by Angela N. Creager
First line
At the beginning of the twentieth century, bacteriologists appeared triumphant in their ability to identify infectious disease agents by filtering them, culturing them in cell-free media, and viewing them in microscopes.
From the rear cover
Focusing on the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) research conducted in Nobel laureate Wendell Stanley's lab, Angela N. H. Creager argues that TMV served as a model system for virology and molecular biology, much as the fruit fly and laboratory mouse have been models in genetics and cancer research. She examines how the experimental techniques and instruments Stanley and his colleagues developed for studying TMV were generalized, not just to other labs working on TMV, but also to research on other diseases such as poliomyelitis and influenza and to studies of genes and cell organelles. In The Life of a Virus, Angela N. H. Creager introduces us to a plant virus that has taught us much of what we know about all viruses, including the lethal ones, and that has also played a crucial role in the development of molecular biology.
