Characterization of Defective Viral RNA Produced during Persistent Infection of Vero Cells with Murray Valley Encephalitis Virus
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Defective interfering viral particles are readily produced in cell culture after a high multiplicity of infection with many animal RNA viruses. Due to defects that they carry in their genomes, their life cycle needs to be complemented by the helper functions provided by a parental virus which makes them both dependent on and competitive with the parental virus. In many instances, this may cause the abrogation of...
