title: Effect of butyrate on adenovirus infection in semipermissive cells.
abstract: Adenovirus 2 stimulated cellular DNA synthesis in quiescent cultures of semipermissive tsAF8 cells and 3T3 cells. Such stimulation was inhibited by Na-butyrate, which also inhibited viral DNA replication in tsAF8 cells. In addition, butyrate inhibited the expression of early regions E1A and E2 of adenovirus 2 in both tsAF8 and 3T3 cells, while it had little effect on permissive HeLa cells.
