title: Ammonium chloride inhibits cell fusion induced by syn mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1.
abstract: Cell fusion induced by syn mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 is inhibited by NH4Cl. The inhibition of fusion is both rapid and rapidly reversible and apprears to be due to the NH4+ ion. Virus production was not significantly altered by NH4Cl, although cell growth was greatly diminished.
