Materials and Methods.-Procedures for infecting cells, sampling, and virus assays: The source of the strain L2 cells and of reovirus type 3 (Dearing strain) and the techniques for the propagation of both have been described previously. 3 7 Before use, virus lysates were frozen and thawed at least five tines to release cell-associated particles. Partial synchrony of infection was obtained by mixing 5 X 106-107 cells/ml with virus suspensions at an input multiplicity of4-8 PFU per cell, and by agitating the mixture continuously for 2 hr at 370 to promote rapid adsorption. After removing unadsorbed virus by two cycles of washing and low-speed centrifugation, the infected cells were diluted to a concentration of 2 X 106/ml withwarm nutrient medium and allowed to incubate in suspension. At desired intervals samples were removed for virus assays, deter-mination of the mitotic index, and electron microscopy. Concentration of infectious particles was assayed as in Gomatos et al. 3The mitotic index: Approximately 106 cells were removed in 5 ml samples, centrifuged into pellets at 800 q for 2 min, and resuspended in 0.1 ml of nutrient medium. One droplet of the thick cell suspension was mixed on a microscope slide with a droplet of stain solution (2% aceto-orcein in 40% acetic acid) and covered by a cover slip. The ensuing intense staining of chromatin facilitated the counting of cells in mitosis, in interphase, or with abnormal chromatin configurations.
