Abstract
IN animal cells, RNA is synthesized both in the nuclei and the mitochondria, and synthesis is inhibited by infection with certain viruses. Working with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, we have been able to show that, in the initial stages of infection with Mengovirus, nuclear synthesis is inhibited but mitochondrial synthesis is not.
