Summary Kidney cell cultures prepared from eight silvered leaf ( Presbytis cristatus ) monkeys had a sensitivity to the three poliovirus types, either untreated or formaldehyde‐treated, at least equal to that observed for cynomolgus kidney cell cultures under similar conditions. Simian foamy virus or other agents which would produce a cytopathic effect were not detected in the silvered leaf cell cultures.
