The Effect of Caffeine on the Survival of u.v.-irradiated Herpes Simplex Type 1 Virus Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

Caffeine reduced the survival of u.v.-irradiated herpes simplex type 1 virus. The relative reduction of plaque count by caffeine was most pronounced in the second component of the survival curve. With more heavily irradiated virus, when multiplicity reactivation apparently played a major role, the caffeine effect was less marked.
