The synthesis of vaccinia virus-induced thymidine kinase is normally arrested several hours after infection. In thymidine kinase-deficient LM cells infected with IHD strain of vaccinia virus, arrest occurs whether or not viral DNA synthesis is inhibited. With virus inactivated by uv irradiation, enzyme synthesis takes place, but arrest is abolished. It is suggested that an early viral genetic function is responsible for the cessation of thymidine kinase synthesis. (auth)
