Changes in ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity during early stages of vesicular stomatitis virus infection. Effects of concanavalin A.

Study of ecto-5'-nucleotidase was performed in cultured epithelial cells, infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Changes in the enzymatic activity were measured in terms of TCID50 and exposure time. The effects of an enzyme inhibitor, Con A, were also investigated during the interaction between virus and cells.
