The expression of src gene in dense cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) infected by a thermosensitive mutant (NY68) of RSV released density-dependent inhibition of growth and induced in these cells a large increase in DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. This stimulation of cellular metabolism was abolished in the presence of quercetin. Furthermore, quercetin added to the culture medium also inhibited the stimulation of pp60src kinase due to the expression of transformation.
