Abstract

Rapp, Fred (Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Tex.), Lawrence A. Feldman, and Manley Mandel. Synthesis of virus deoxyribonucleic acid during abortive infection of simian cells by human adenoviruses. J. Bacteriol. 92:931-936. 1966.-Inoculation of green monkey kidney cells (GMK) with adenovirus types 2 or 12, under conditions where neither infectious virus was synthesized, resulted in an increase in the uptake of H(3)-thymidine into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Extraction of the DNA from infected cells, followed by identification by isopycnic analysis in CsCl gradients, revealed the presence of virus DNA. Cells infected with adenovirus type 2 yielded DNA giving bands with peak densities of 1.699 g/ml [GMK DNA with 40 moles% guanine + cytosine (GC)] and 1.714 g/ml (adenovirus type 2 DNA with 55 moles% GC). Cells infected with adenovirus type 12 also yielded the GMK DNA and a band at 1.706 g/ml (adenovirus type 12 DNA with 47 moles% GC). The rate of synthesis of adenovirus type 2 DNA in KB cells (productive cycle) and in GMK cells infected only with adenovirus (nonproductive cycle) or with adenovirus and simian virus 40 (adeno-productive cycle) was not significantly different.
