Synergistic Effect of Herpes Simplex Virus and Cytosine Arabinoside on Human Chromosomes

F J O'Neill 1, F Rapp 1
PMCID: PMC356183  PMID: 4104257

Abstract

The combined treatment of cultures of human embryonic lung cells with herpes simplex virus type 2 and cytosine arabinoside produced a significantly increased number of cells containing multiple chromatid and chromosome breaks. The incidence of such cells was found to be approximately two and one half times greater than the additive effects of virus and cytosine arabinoside induced separately and is therefore synergistic.
