[Cytophotometric study of changes in the structure of nuclear chromatin induced by the oncogenic adenovirus SA7 (C8)].

Infection of primary murine embryonic cell cultures by adenovirus SA7 (C8) results in an increase in chromatin condensation Average optical density of Feulgen stained nuclei 24 h following virus absorption increased for G0/1, S, and G2 cells by 16.1, 11.3 and 13.1%, respectively. This phenomenon is associated with the stimulation of proliferation, with an increase of the S cell amount by 50% of the control values and a decrease of average cell nuclei areas in all phases of cell cycle.
