title: Replication of IPN virus: a cytochemical and biochemical study in SWT cells.
abstract: Although IPN virus failed to multiply at 30 degrees, it replicated at 16 degrees and 22 degrees in SWT cells. At 22 degrees the viral eclipse period lasted nearly 6 hr with maximal virion titers attained by 24 hr, whereas replication at 16 degrees was much slower. The replication of the virion was inhibited by 0.05 mug/ml of AD which did not interfere with the production of reovirus. Biochemical studies revealed that cellular DNA synthesis was markedly reduced (greater than 50%) soon after infection whereas total RNA synthesis was enhanced. The period of rapid increase in RNA synthesis paralleled the exponential production of infectious virus. Viral inclusion bodies, revealed by acridine orange-staining of virus-infected cells (SWT and RGG-2) late in the infectious cycle, were found to contain single-stranded RNA on the basis of their staining characteristics and sensitivity to RNase.
