General description

Phosphonoacetic acid inhibits specifically human cytomegalovirus DNA synthesis in virus-infected human fibroblasts. It also inhibits the synthesis of herpes simplex virus DNA in infected cells and the activity of the virus-specific DNA polymerase in vitro.

Application

Phosphonoacetic acid was used as an inhibitor of viral DNA replication, to investigate the infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) localization in infected low passage bovine cells. It was also used as a phosphorus source for microbial growth in phosphate-independent manner.

Virus-host interactions are frequently studied in bulk cell populations, obscuring cell-to-cell variation. Here we investigate endogenous herpesvirus gene expression at the single-cell level, combining a sensitive and robust fluorescent in situ hybridization platform with multiparameter flow cytometry, to study the
