Phosphonoacetic Acid-Resistant Mutants of Herpes Simplex Virus: Effect of Phosphonoacetic Acid on Virus Replication and In Vitro Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Isolated Nuclei

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus in BSC-1 cells and the in vitro synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in isolated nuclei. Phosphonopropionic acid at a concentration of 100 μg/ml had no effect on herpes simplex virus replication. PAA-resistant mutants were obtained at a rate of 1 in 104 plaque-forming units after 5-bromodeoxyuridine mutagenization of the virus. These mutants replicate in BSC-1 cells in the presence of 100 μg of PAA per ml and induce a PAA-resistant DNA polymerase that synthesizes DNA in vitro in the presence of PAA.
