title: Effect of rhesus or vervet cytomegalovirus infection of DNA synthesis in untreated and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine-arrested cells.
abstract: Infection of permissive cells with either rhesus or vervet cytomegalovirus resulted in suppression of cellular DNA synthesis, only viral DNA was resolved by isopycnic centrifugation after 24 h postinoculation. Infection of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR)-arrested cells with either of the simian cytomegaloviruses, however, induced synthesis of cellular DNA of normal density; synthesis of cellular DNA substituted with IUdR as evidenced by resolution of a heavy DNA peak after isopycnic centrifugation was not observed. Stimulation of DNA synthesis in IUdR-arrested cells was not observed with virus inactivated with UV light.
