Mitochondrial DNA synthesis in adenovirus type 2-infected HeLa cells

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA synthesis in adenovirus type 2-infected [human cervical carcinoma] HeLa cells was measured at various times from 0-24 h postinfection. Although viral infection effectively turned off host chromosomal DNA synthesis, mitochondrial DNA synthesis was not inhibited. A dissociation between the regulation of host and mitochondrial DNA synthesis after infection with adenovirus type 2 was indicated.
