Abstract
To gain information about the mechanism of virus synthesis in the host cell, we have been carrying out experiments on influenza virus growing in the embryonated egg. It was of particular interest to determine whether virus growing in the presence of radioactive phosphorus would incorporate the isotope into its structure. Some of the results are described here.
