Abstract
Summary
Infection of cells with mengovirus resulted in the leakage of protein which may be taken as a reliable and quantitative measure of cellular injury. Experiments with actinomycin D and streptovitacin A suggested that virus-specific proteins are the cause of protein leakage, and tended to rule out the suppressive action of the viral genome as a primary factor. The appearance of extra-cellular virus and the earliest manifestation of CPE preceded protein leakage by approximately 1 hour.
