Abstract excerpt
On mouse adaption of A/FM/1/47, a variant, A/FM/1/47-MA (FM-MA), that had acquired the properties of increased virulence and interference was produced. Coinfection of cells with FM-MA and prototype strains of influenza virus yielded > 100-fold more FM-MA virus than prototype virus, whereas coinfection with the same prototype strains and the parental A/FM/1/47 virus produced equivalent yields, indicating that...
