— The degree of ultraviolet enhanced reactivation (UVR) exhibited by mammalian cells when infected with Herpes simplex virus inactivated by different wavelengths of far ultraviolet (UV) radiation was measured. A wavelength dependence for this effect is presented over the wavelength region 238–297 nm. Within the limits of the deviations obtained, the degree of UVR exhibited is similar at each wavelength. This suggests that virus irradiated with different wavelengths of UV radiation received the same type of damage or that cells repaired the different types of viral damage with the same efficiency.
