RESUMO
Thirty-five nontarget host cell lines, 23 of human and 12 of nonhuman vertebrate origin, were exposed to Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus preparations derived from four different sources: polyhedra, hemolymph, cell culture medium, and cultured cells. The virus and cells were incubated together at two different temperatures, 28 or 37°C, for four different lengths of time, 16, 40, 64, or 168 h, and the cells were assayed for the presence of virus by a peroxidase-antiperoxidase detection method. The estimated sensitivity of the assay as routinely conducted was 0.98 ng of alkali-liberated viral protein and 1.95 ng of budded viral protein per mm2. No evidence of frank replication was obtained in any of the 35 cell lines tested, although virus uptake appeared to be quite common. Virus uptake was confirmed in some cases by electron microscopy. The degree of virus uptake appeared to be dependent on cell type, time and temperature of incubation, and viral phenotype. Virus purified from polyhedra was generally taken up more readily than were the other forms tested.
