Abstract:At low multiplicities of infection (1 to 5 PFU/cell), human adenoviruses grew inefficiently in monkey kidney cells as the result of a late transcriptional and/or translational defect. Through an unknown mechanism, coinfection with simian virus 40 (SV40) could overcome this block. Coincident with the onset of adenovirus DNA replication in coinfected monkey cells, however, there was a marked inhibition of SV40 DNA replication. Since this inhibition in SV40 DNA synthesis occurred in the presence of normal SV40 tr… Show more
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.
