Abstract

Minute virus of mice (i), the lymphotropic strain of minute virus of mice, established a persistent infection in normally restrictive L cells. The carrier state, which lasted 150 days, exhibited three clearly distinguishable stages. During the early stage (days 1 to 10 postinfection), small amounts of virus were formed. A "crisis" then developed that lasted 50 to 60 days and was characterized by massive cell lysis and high titers of virus. This was followed by a 70- to 80-day period in which small but stable quantities of virus were produced. Virus shed by the carrier culture during the latter phase had acquired an altered host range, namely, it had lost its ability to replicate in T-lymphocyte cell lines and had adapted to growth in L cells. Virus isolated at this time from a single plaque in L cells, designated hr301, was shown to possess similar host range properties. No differences, however, could be found between the DNAs of minute virus of mice (i) and of hr301 by restriction enzyme analysis, suggesting that the mutation that affected the viral host range did not involve an extensive region of the viral genome.
