Abstract
Summary
Rat virus, strain XI4, a small (22 m/x) virus isolated from the mammary tissue of an X-irradiated rat, was found to be inhibited by statolon and by guanidine. Since statolon, a penicillium-derived antibiotic previously had been found to inhibit RNA viruses of the arbor- and entero-groups, it is noteworthy that rat virus was also inhibited by 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine and that the inhibition was prevented by thymidine, a conventional identification of a DNA virus.
