Method of examining viral RNA metabolism in cells in culture: metabolism of vesicular stomatitis virus RNA.

PMCID: PMC355734  PMID: 171456

Abstract

A method is described for radioactively labeling viral RNA and then quickly halting further incorporation of radioactive precursor into RNA so that the fate of the labeled RNA can be followed. Small complementary RNAs synthesized during vesicular stomatitis virus infection in the presence of cycloheximide do not metabolize to virion length molecules when protein synthesis inhibition is reversed.
