Cells infected with vaccinia virus in the presence of hydroxyurea (HU), which blocks DNA replication, were examined in thin sections by electron microscopy at intervals after removal of HU. Dense, fibrillar material was observed at the orifice formed just before closure of the membrane constituting the envelope of the immature form of the virus. It is concluded that synchrony of assembly enabled stages in the condensation and insertion of viral deoxyribonucleoprotein to be observed. The mechanism appears to be similar to that encountered in morphologic studies of herpes simplex virus and in biochemical studies of poliovirus, adenovirus, and several bacteriophages.
在存在羟基脲(HU)的情况下感染痘苗病毒的细胞,羟基脲会阻断DNA复制,在去除HU后的不同时间间隔通过电子显微镜对薄切片进行检查。在构成未成熟病毒包膜的膜即将封闭之前形成的孔口处观察到致密的纤维状物质。得出的结论是,装配同步性使得能够观察到病毒脱氧核糖核蛋白凝聚和插入的各个阶段。其机制似乎与在单纯疱疹病毒的形态学研究以及脊髓灰质炎病毒、腺病毒和几种噬菌体的生化研究中所遇到的机制相似。
