In special reference to the production of the soluble antigens, the details on the mode of growth of vaccinia virus in HeLa cells were reported by Tagaya and Oda (1958). When HeLa cells were infected with a heavy inoculum, the first appearance of measurable complement fixing antigen in the cell homogenate was 6 hours following infection and another soluble antigen, hemagglutinin, became measurable 5 hours later. A significant rise in titer of infective virus within cells was noticed at nearly the same time, when hemagglutinin became measurable in the cell homogenate. Based on the morphological observations of the intracellular development of poxviruses by use of electronmicroscope, Higashi et al. (1959) reported that matrix appeared in cytoplasm 3 hours following infection and that the first recognizable viral form, so-called developmental form, was observed within the matrix area in the cells harvested 6 hours after infection. Advance in the biochemical analyses of phage-infected bacteria stimulated the same line of research works in animal viruses, but due to the difficulties inherent in animal viruses and animal cells, not so many reports have ever appeared, i. e. on poliovirus (Maassab et al., 1957; Miroff et al., 1957; Ackermann et al., 1959; Salzman and Lockart, 1959), herpes simplex virus (Newton and Stoker, 1958) and adenovirus (Ginsberg and Dixon, 1959). As regards vaccinia virus, Magee and Sagik (1959) reported that C14-thymidine was incorporated into the DNA fraction of vaccinia-infected HeLa cells, and Chang (1959) concluded from the experiments on bicarbonate-deficient tissue culture that ribonucleic acid might play an important role on the synthesis of vaccinia virus. In this communication the authors present the data concerning the metabolic alterations in HeLa cells infected with vaccinia virus. The experimental results indicate that a marked incorporation of radioisotope phosphorus into acid-soluble fraction was observed in the early stage of infection and that the maximal incorporation into ribonucleic acid fraction was delayed by several hours. Furthermore, chemical analyses of labeled nucleotides demonstrate that the radioactivity was considerably increased in the cytidine-diphosphate and adenosine-triphosphate fractions of the infected HeLa cells as compared with that in the corresponding fractions of the control cells, while the situation was contrary with adenosine-monophosphate.
