title: Inhibition of macromolecular synthesis in cells infected with an invertebrate virus (iridovirus type 6 or CIV).
abstract: Chilo Iridescent Virus (CIV), an invertebrate virus, rapidly inhibits cellular RNA, DNA and protein synthesis in permissive and non permissive vertebrate and invertebrate cell lines. The integrity of the viral genome is not required for inhibitory expression, since viral proteins solubilized from CIV by freezing and treatment with EDTA exhibit inhibitory properties similar to those of intact virions.
