Abstract

SUMMARY

Ethidium bromide inhibits multiplication of encephalomyocarditis virus and synthesis of infectious single-stranded virus RNA. Infectious double-stranded virus RNA and cellular RNA synthesis are inhibited to a lesser degree. It is suggested that the effect is due mainly to binding of the drug to double-stranded replicative virus RNA.
