Summary
The events and products of replication ofHerpesvirus simiae (B virus) in Vero cells were studied. The time course of the synthetic events of DNA replication and protein synthesis were found to be similar to the processes of the herpes simplex viruses and SA 8. Infectious progeny virus were detected by 4 hours post infection and were first found extracellularly between 6 and 8 hours post infection (PI). As in the case of SA 8, all cell lines tested were permissive for lytic infection by B virus. Analyses of B virus-infected cells by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed approximately 50 infected cell polypeptides (ICP) ranging in molecular weight from about 26,000 to 239,000 daltons. The kinetics of synthesis of the ICPs were also identified. At least nine glucosamine-containing glycopeptides were noted ranging from 133,000 to 29,000 daltons.
