The authors investigated the reparative replication of DNA, induced by urethane and influenza virus in C57BL/6 and CBA mice which have marked differences in tumor formation. Reparative DNA replication, induced by urethane and influenza virus was investigated by a liquid scintillation method based on measuring incorporation of /sup 3/H-thymidine into the total mass of mouse spleen cells, when replicative DNA synthesis was inhibited by hydroxyurea. The intensity of reparative DNA replication was judged from the value of the stimulation index which is the ratio of the radioactivity in the spleen cells of the experimental animals to the corresponding parameters in cells of intact animals. The phenomenon of the stimulating and inhibitory effects of influenza virus on reparative DNA replication in cells depending on their genotype and sensitivity to virus is established.
