Abstract
Summary
The nucleic acid content per cell of chick livers was found to be unaltered as a consequence of infection with herpes virus. The distribution of the nucleic acid between ribosenucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid is the same in normal and infected tissues. The intracellular distribution of nucleic acids was determined and the data suggest a remarkable stability of the nucleus of the infected cell. Within the extent of the investigation, the nucleic acid pattern of the Ehrlich ascites tumor after infection with influenza virus was found to parallel that of the herpetic liver cell.
