Effect of wild-type and mutant viruses on cell-cycle progression. Human
fibroblasts were mock-infected or infected at a multiplicity of 10 pfu
per cell with TNwt,
TNsubUL69+pUL69, or
TNsubUL69−pUL69. Cultures were treated with
nocodozole and phosphonoacetic acid 12 h later. Cells were
harvested, fixed, and stained at either 30 or 48 h after
infection, and then they were subjected to FACS analysis. The
proportions of cells in G1, S, and G2 were
determined by using cellquest software. As a control,
mock-infected cells that were not treated with drugs (MOCK 0 h)
were also analyzed.
