title: Inhibition of influenza C virus replication by actinomycin D, alpha-amanitin, and UV irradiation.
abstract: Actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin caused similar reductions in the yields of influenza A/WSN and influenza C/JBH/1/66 viruses in a chicken kidney cell culture system. Irradiation of host cells with UV light before virus infection also produced a similar reduction in yields of the two viruses. The results indicate a close similarity between the replication processes of influenza C and other orthomyxoviruses.
