Antiviral Action of a Rifamycin Derivative: Formation of Rous Sarcoma Virus Particles Deficient in 60 to 70S RNA

Charles Szabo 1, Mina J Bissell 1
PMCID: PMC525993  PMID: 205684

Abstract

Growth of Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cells in the presence of rifazone-82, a rifamycin derivative, results in the formation of noninfectious virus particles lacking 60 to 70S RNA.
