Early Virion-associated Suppression of Cellular Protein Synthesis by Herpes Simplex Virus is Accompanied by Inactivation of mRNA Fenwick, M. L. and McMenamin, M. M.,, 65, 1225-1228 (1984), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-65-7-1225, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-1317, abstract= SUMMARY Vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus in the presence of actinomycin or cycloheximide, or with u.v.-inactivated virus, suffered a rapid loss of functional mRNA as determined by translation in vitro. It is suggested that a virion-associated factor causes a structural change in the mRNA of the host cell., language=, type=
