The relative efficiency of translation of host cell mRNA and encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA has been investigated in cell-free preparations from un-infected and EMC virus-infected Krebs-II cells. The ability of cell-free extracts from infected cells to translate exogenously-added EMC virus RNA and total Krebs-II cell mRNA was markedly diminished, but no evidence for the selective inhibition of translation of host cell mRNA in these systems was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
