Induced ribonucleic acids in cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus.

Virus-induced interference in heterologously infected HeLa cells.

In doubly infected HeLa cells, poliovirus type 1 rapidly and completely dominates vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) plaque-forming unit production. Poliovirus type 1 shuts off incorporation of amino acids into VSV-specific proteins within 2 hr after superinfection of cells already committed to massive synthesis of VSV proteins. However, poliovirus type 1 appears to have little, if any, direct ef...

Indirect evidence for the presence of Ribonucleic acid in vesicular stomatitis Virions

Ribonucleic acid synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus. I. Species of ribonucleic acid found in Chinese hamster ovary cells infected with plaque-forming and defective particles.

Plaque-forming B particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) induce the synthesis of virus-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) in Chinese hamster ovary cells, whereas defective T particles do not. Infection with low input multiplicities of B results in the formation of four species of RNA. During infection with high multiplicities, RNA synthesis begins with mainly these four species of RNA but gr...

Scanning electron microscopic studies of virus-infected cells. I. Cytopathic effects and maturation of vesicular stomatitis virus in L2 cells.

L2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus under single-cycle conditions have been studied by scanning electron microscopy after preparation by the critical point drying technique. Three dimensional images of intact cells show bullet-shaped vesicular stomatitis virus virions budding singly and in radiating clusters both from the plasma membrane between cellular microvilli and from the si...

Study of the transcription and the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus by using temperature-sensitive mutants.

The viral ribonucleic acids (RNA species) synthesized in HeLa cells infected with temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants and with the wild type of vesicular stomatitis virus at permissive (30 C) and nonpermissive (39.2 C) temperatures were compared by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Two ts mutants (ts 5 and ts 100) representing two separate complementation groups (respectively, groups I and IV), e...
