Chloroquine inhibited infection totally at 1 mm, whereas inhibition by NH4Cl was maximum at 14 mm, where it was almost complete; lower concentrations of NH4Cl or, surprisingly, higher concentrations were less inhibitory. The number of cells infected at 25 mm-NH4Cl was the same as that infected in untreated controls. Binding of SYDV to the surfaces of cells was unimpaired by chloroquine. Sensitivity of SYDV infection to the lysosomotropic substances was observed only if the substances were administered during 150 min after inoculation. The inhibitory effect was abolished when the substances were removed from the medium. These results suggest that SYDV infection of the vector cells occurs by adsorptive endocytosis and has a lysosomal phase.", }
