Abstract

Summary Iridovirus type 6 induced a modification in the phospholipids of invertebrate cells early in the infection cycle. This was shown by following the incorporation of radioactive phosphorus into the whole-cell phospholipids and analysing the percentages of the different phospholipid components after viral infection. We compared the results obtained on different permissive and non-permissive invertebrate cell lines. These results showed, with the whole-cell cultures used, that the viral infection led to a decrease in the phosphorus incorporation into the cell phospholipids and to a stimulation of the cell phosphatidylcholine synthesis.
