RESUMO
Hydroxyurea-resistant (HUr) baby hamster kidney cells were isolated, subcloned, and characterized. One clonal line, which contained elevated levels of ribonucleotide reductase, lost its HU resistance during passage in the absence of the inhibitor, whereas another clonal line was stably resistant. The replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 on these cells was compared with that of the parvovirus minute virus of mice. Herpes simplex virus type 1 was found to be as sensitive to HU on both lines of HUr baby hamster kidney cells as it was on parental (HU-sensitive) cells, whereas parvovirus replication was about eight times more resistant on HUr baby hamster kidney cells compared with the parental cells. The results suggest that herpes simplex virus type 1 cannot use the cellular reductase and may code for its own.
