Polyamines in encephalomyocarditis virus.

S L Sheppard, A T Burness, S M Boyle
PMCID: PMC288692  PMID: 6246257

Abstract

Encephalomyocarditis virus contains approximately 200 molecules of putrescine, 100 molecules of spermidine, and 40 molecules of spermine which could neutralize 11% of the viral genome. The same polyamines are present in different proportions in the Krebs ascites tumor cell in which the virus was grown.
