During her 1954 visit to the United States, Franklin visited many virus researchers who would subsequently collaborate with her on projects involving virus structures. Barry Commoner sent her samples of a protein he called B8, to compare with the x-ray diffraction studies of TMV protein. They subsequently published several articles together. In this letter, Commoner explained a delay in sending the B8 samples, and told Franklin about some recent work being done at the virus laboratory at UC Berkeley.
