Phosphonoacetic acid-induced morphological changes of herpesvirus growth in vitro. 1982

P Diosi, and L Georgescu, and C Neniu

Thin-section electron microscopy of Herpesvirus hominis type 1 (HV-1)-infected HEp-2 cells exposed to 100 micrograms/ml phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) revealed not only a spatial restriction of virus multiplication to a few spheroid bodies in the nucleus, but also a delay in viral development, resulting in the formation of unusual HV-1 particle rosettes around the spheroid bodies. HV-1-infected cells were lacking, however, the small tubular structures known to accumulate at increased rates in the presence of PAA, in HV-2-infected cells.

D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape. Procapsid,Prohead,Capsids,Procapsids,Proheads
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
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
