Abstract
A direct comparison demonstrates that Rous sarcoma virus is capable of infe cting aphidicolin-arrested cells 10-fold more efficiently than murine leuke mia virus but less efficiently than human immunodeficiency virus. The effic iency of infection of nondividing cells by the three viruses correlates wit h the respective ability of each viral DNA to enter the nucleus.
