RESUMO
In vitro cultured BHK and HeLa cells were labelled for several cell division cycles with 32-P-phosphate until they were equilibrated with radiophosphorus. After infection with Semliki forest virus (or mock-infection) these cells were analyzed for viral and ribosomal RNA by sucrose gradient centrifugation. From their radioactivities the mass of each RNA species was calculated. It was found that the BHK and HeLa cells contained on average 11.0 plus or minus 3.1 pg and 6.3 plus or minus 1.9 pg of ribosomal RNA (28 S + 18 S) respectively per cell. At the end of the viral growth cycle, i.e. at 8 h post infection the average mass of viral genome produced per cell was 1.0 -1.9 pg and 0.3 - 0.5 pg in BHK and HeLa cells respectively, of which only 1/10 to 1/20 was released as mature virus particles. The amount of the second major virus specific messenger, the 26 S RNA, was estimated from its ratio to the viral genome after labelling with 3-H-uridine in the presence of actinomycin D. These two viral RNAs were found to be present in roughly equimolar amounts.
