Abstract
The "calcium/dimethyl sulfoxide shock" method of transfection was adapted for use in human lymphoid cell cultures. One microgram of herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA regularly initiated virus replication in four lymphoblastoid cell lines. Per 10(5) cells exposed to 1 microgram of DNA, 0.5--5 cells formed an infectious center. The minimal infective dose of DNA was approximately 500 ng.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
