Characterization of Pools of Protein in Cells of Shigella flexneri F6S infected with Phage H-Sh

Abstract

THE lesions elicited by phage H-Sh in the susceptible cells of Shigella flexneri F6S have been examined by means of the fluorescence microscope, on smears treated with acridine orange1,2 or better with coriphosphine3. With both techniques the normal cells show one or more yellow-green nuclei (DNA) in a red cytoplasm (RNA). The aspect of the lesions due to H-Sh vary somewhat following the multiplicity of infection, especially in the earlier stages of the cycle.
