Cytochemical staining and arginine-depletion studies demonstrated the arginine-rich nature of the paracrystalline formations. It was possible, using proflavine or decreased amounts of arginine in the culture medium, to block the assembly of intact virus particles without affecting the appearance of the paracrystals.", }
