Infection with Ad5dl520EIB-, an adenovirus producing only the 243 residue E1A protein and lacking the E1B region, caused apoptosis in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells as judged by the production of nucleosomal DNA fragments. Apoptosis occurred only when the cells were growth-inhibited by cell-cell contacts in confluent cultures or by serum starvation and not when they were actively growing. In uninfected cultures,...
