RESUMO

Human mononuclear cells were exposed to three antiviral agents, stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, and assayed for DNA synthesis with [3H]thymidine uptake and flow cytometric analysis. Cytosine-arabinoside demonstrated inhibition of blastogenic reactivity by both [3H]thymidine uptake and flow cytometric analysis, whereas acyclovir showed no significant suppression. In contrast, (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, a thymidine analog, demonstrated a lack of correlation between the two methods. The competitive inhibition of some compounds with [3H]thymidine incorporation necessitates the use of other methods to measure DNA synthesis.
