Abstract excerpt
Infectious defective interfering (DI) particles of the negative-stranded RNA virus vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) have been recovered from negative-sense transcripts of a plasmid that contains a full-length cDNA derived from the DI-T particle genome. In order to determine the cis-acting sequences necessary for RNA replication, encapsidation, and budding and to approximate the minimal size of RNA that can be...
