Notes:
Actinomycin D was studied as a photodynamic agent and fluorochrome. With Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus propagated in chick fibroblasts, it was shown that actinomycin D induces both direct and indirect photoactivation of the virus. Some capacity of antibiotic-treated and irradiated virus to produce plaques larger than usual was not retained with passage of virus isolated from large plaques. Cells stained with actinomycin D exhibited a weak brownish fluorescence of nuclear structure.
