Abstract

LYTIC infection of human KB cells by adenovirus type 12 (ad 12) results in the early inhibition of host cell DNA synthesis1. We have looked at some aspects of cell DNA replication after infection of KB cells by ad 12. We observed that the ligation of the Okazaki fragments is slower in cells affected by this virus. We also observed that the inhibition of cell DNA synthesis by this virus is not a random process and that certain classes of DNA, distinguished by their higher buoyant density and by their high reiteration frequency, are selectively synthesised.
