Inhibition of influenza C virus replication by actinomycin D, alpha-amanitin, and UV irradiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin caused similar reductions in the yields of influenza A/WSN and influenza C/JBH/1/66 viruses in a chicken kidney cell culture system. Irradiation of host cells with UV light before virus infection also produced a similar reduction in yields of the two viruses. The results indicate a close similarity between the replication processes of influenza C and other orthomyxoviruses.

Pomegranate peel extract inhibits internalization and replication of the influenza virus: An in vitro study
Objective: Influenza virus, which is associated with high level of morbidity and mortality, has been recently considered a public health concern; however, the methods of choice to control and treat it are limited. Our previous study showed anti-influenza virus activity of pomegranate peel extract (PPE). In this study, the mechanism through which PPE acts against influenza virus...
متن کاملSynthesis of influenza virus polypeptides in cells resistant to alpha-amanitin: evidence for the involvement of cellular RNA polymerase II in virus replication.
Influenza virus polypeptides were not synthesized in wild-type CHO-S-infected cells in the presence of alpha-amanitin, but were synthesized in CHO-Amal cells, a mutant cell line whose DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II is specifically resistant to this drug, indicating that this cellular enzyme is involved in influenza virus replication. The results of experiments designed to detect viral polypept...
متن کاملSynthesis of (+) and (-) RNA molecules of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) in isolated nuclei and its impairment by transcription inhibitors.
Transcription studies with highly purified potato cell nuclei in combination with a 'transcription-hybridization analysis' unequivocally demonstrate that the nucleus is the subcellular site where the entire process of PSTV replication takes place. Inhibition experiments with actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin furthermore suggest that the nuclear DNA-dependent RNA polymerases I and II are involved...
متن کاملVaccinia virus replication requires active participation of the host cell transcriptional apparatus.
The ability of vaccinia virus to replicate in BSC-40 monkey cells whose nuclei have been functionally inactivated was examined. Exposure of cell monolayers to ultraviolet radiation at doses that did not alter the cells' capacity to support a subsequent infection by a cytoplasmic virus (vesicular stomatitis virus) caused a reduction to less than 10% in the observed yield of infectious progeny fr...
متن کاملComparative inhibition of influenza and parainfluenza virus replication by ribavirin in MDCK cells.
Actinomycin D inhibited the yield of influenza virus hemagglutinin from MDCK cells infected at high multiplicity, but had little effect on the yield of parainfluenza virus hemagglutinin. In similar hemagglutinin yield experiments, ribavirin was only slightly more active (threefold) against influenza virus than against parainfluenza virus replication. In plaque inhibition experiments, ribavirin ...
