Abstract
The mechanism of inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by poliovirus has been studied by examining the behavior of host polyribosomes and polyribosome-associated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Virus infection appears to result in a specific inhibition of the initiation of translation of host cell mRNA. The site of inhibition does not appear to be mRNA itself. Human cells respond to virus infection by producing a factor antagonistic to the virus inhibition which promotes the initiation of host mRNA translation. The production of the host factor is sensitive to actinomycin; however, the behavior of the host cell factor and that of host mRNA appear distinctly different.
