Selective Virus Resistance Conferred by Expression of Borna Disease Virus Nucleocapsid Components
12 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Persistent viral infections can render host cells resistant to superinfection with closely related viruses by largely uncharacterized mechanisms. We present evidence for superinfection exclusion in brains of Borna disease virus (BDV)-infected rats and in persistently infected Vero cells, and we suggest that acquired resistance to BDV is due to unbalanced intracellular levels of viral nucleocapsid components. We...
