Abstract

Tissue phosphatases which are present in virus suspensions were found to contribute in considerable measure to the inactivation of herpes simplex virus. Phosphatase inhibitors and phosphatase substrates have been found to prolong the survival of the virus. Exogenous phosphatases, both acid and alkaline, have been demonstrated to bring about the loss of infectivity of suspensions of this virus.
