Abstract
THE study of DNA and protein synthesis in cells infected with vaccinia virus has previously led to contradictory results. Both increase1,2 and decrease3–5 of DNA and protein synthesis have been demonstrated. This may be due to the use of different cell strains and stages of virus infection. The early stages of vaccinia virus infection, as yet little studied, were the subject of this investigation.
