title: The phosphorylation of histones in herpes virus infected Vervet-monkey kidney cells (CV-1).
abstract: The phosphorylation of histones of the F1 group and of fraction F2a2 is stimulated in monkey kidney cells (CV-1) to almost two times the control values 14 hours after their infection with herpes virus, type 2. At the same time high amounts of viral DNA are produced. It seems very likely that the stimulated phosphorylation of these histone fractions is a prerequisite for the enhanced synthesis of DNA and possibly also RNA.
