Studies on Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Human KB Cells Infected with Human Adenovirus Type 2

Abstract

<p> Human adenovirus, type 2, was utilized to investigate its effects on the host cell population. The progression of KB cells through the various phases of the cell cycle after infection was studied, with special emphasis of DNA metabolism. At different times after infection, the rate and the amount of viral DNA synthesized was determined and their efficiency of incorporation into virious was investigated.</p>
