Abstract
THE effect of cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium bromide (‘Cetavlon’) on the infectivity of Rons sarcoma extracts has already been described by one of us1,2. It was suggested that the reversible decrease of the infectivity could be attributed to interaction between the virus nucleic acid and the detergent. It seemed therefore of interest to analyse in detail some aspect of the interaction between ‘Cetavlon’ and ribonucleic acid.
