Replication of Viral Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Breakdown of Cellular Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

PMCID: PMC356360  PMID: 4336566

Abstract

Infection of Raji cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes suppression of cellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and fragmentation of the cellular DNA. About 1,000 copies of EBV DNA of normal size (about 5 × 107 daltons in a single strand, as shown in an alkaline gradient) are synthesized per cell.
