Abstract

The effects of orally administered castanospermine (CS) and azidothymidine (AZT) on spleen and serum virus titres and on spleen weights of mice inoculated with Rauscher murine leukaemia virus (R MuLV) were evaluated. Virus titres of samples from CS-treated mice did not differ appreciably from saline-treated mice, despite a significant inhibition of splenomegaly. In contrast, AZT treatment resulted in significant inhibition of splenomegaly and a reduction of virus titres.
