Activation of viruses in human tumors by 5-iododeoxyuridine and dimethyl sulfoxide

S E Stewart et al. Science. .

Abstract

Dimethyl sulfoxide added to cultures first treated with 5-iododeoxyuridine increased C-type virus production approximately tenfold in a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. 5-Iododeoxyuridine followed by dimethyl sulfoxide also activated a similar C-type virus in a metastatic tumor from a bronchial node taken from a 52-year-old male.
