Abstract

The effect of arginine starvation on the growth of simian adenovirus SA7 has been studied. Omission of arginine from the medium inhibited production of infectious virus. Extracts from virus‐infected cells maintained in arginine‐free medium were tested for immature virus particles. Small amounts of virus activity found in these extracts seemed to be caused by the low levels of normal virus present, rather than by defective forms of virus.
