  • Title: Cytoplasmic viral DNA synthesis in exogenous infection of murine leukemia virus: effect of interferon and cycloheximide.
    Author: Aboud M, Moldovan-Levin D, Salzberg S.
    Journal: J Virol; 1981 Feb; 37(2):836-9. PubMed ID: 6163875.
    Abstract:
    Cytoplasmic viral DNA synthesis can be followed efficiently by [3H]thymidine labeling of cells exogenously infected with Moloney murine leukemia virus. Both the negative and the positive strands of viral DNA reached their maximal level in the cytoplasm at 3.5 h postinfection. Interferon treatment before infection markedly reduced the amount of viral DNA formed during the first 3.5 h, but led to a second major wave of viral DNA synthesis, peaking at 7.5 h postinfection. No such late cytoplasmic DNA synthesis occurred in the untreated control. Inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, on the other hand, stimulated cytoplasmic viral DNA synthesis during the first 3.5 h.
