Effect of arginine deficiency on the reproduction of human cytomegalovirus. 1975

E Gönczöl, and I Boldogh, and L Váczi

In arginine-deprived human embryonic fibroblasts the reproduction cycle of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is incomplete. Infectious virus cannot be demonstrated in cell disintergrates, and from among the CMV antigens only the diffuse cytoplasmic antigen is detectable by immunofluorescence. The antigens localized in the cell membrane and those appearing during the complete cycle as large granules or inclusion-like bodies in the nucleus do not appear in the absence of arginine. The CMV genome persists in the arginine-deprived culture; after re-feeding with arginine-containing medium, maturation of virions soon ensues. Maturation could be prevented by inhibitors of protein synthesis, but not by DNA inhibitors, added simultaneously with completion of the medium.

Plasma Membrane,Cytoplasmic Membrane,Cell Membranes,Cytoplasmic Membranes,Membrane, Cell,Membrane, Cytoplasmic,Membrane, Plasma,Membranes, Cell,Membranes, Cytoplasmic,Membranes, Plasma,Plasma Membranes
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D003513 Cycloheximide Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis. Actidione,Cicloheximide
D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
