Vaccinia Virus Replication I. Requirement for the Host-Cell Nucleus

Abstract: Using cytochalasin B-induced enucleation techniques, we examined the ability of vaccinia virus to replicate in the absence of the host-cell nucleus in several mammalian cell lines. It was found that virus-infected enucleated cells (cytoplasts) prepared from BSC-40, CVC, and L cells were incapable of producing infectious progeny virus. The nature of this apparent nuclear involvement was studied in detail in BSC-40 cells. Modulations designed to maximize cytoplast integrity and longevity, such as reduction of th… Show more

“…The generation of pyrimidine dimers in nucleic acid molecules by this treatment is known to block normal host DNA replication and RNA transcription, and the uv doses employed in our experiments would be expected to strongly inhibit both DNA and RNA synthesis (cf. Hruby et al, 1979). Thus, although uv irradiation simultaneously inhibits a number of cellular biosynthetic activities, it is clear that radiationdamaged BHK-21 cells with functionally impaired nuclei are unable to support active replication of infectious IBV particles.…”

“…We have also examined ultraviolet radiation as an inhibitor of cellular DNA function which is known to compromise replication of animal viruses such as influenza (Barry, 1964;Rott et al, 1965) or vaccinia virus (Hruby et al, 1979) to establish whether growth of IBV is also sensitive to these treat-…”

“…Cells and virus. Growth, purification, and plaque titration of VV (strain WR) were carried out essentially as previously described (17). BSC-40 cells were grown in Earle minimum essential medium (GIBCO Laboratories), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 2 mM Lglutamine at 37°C, 5% C02, and 95% humidity.…”
