Host Susceptibility to endogenous viruses: defective, glycoprotein-expressing proviruses interfere with infections.

H L Robinson, S M Astrin, A M Senior, F H Salazar
PMCID: PMC256686  PMID: 6275116

Abstract

Three defective endogenous avian leukosis viruses, ev3, ev6 and ev9, interfered with subgroup E virus infections, ev3, ev6, and ev9 expressed high levels of subgroup E envelope glycoproteins. These glycoproteins reduced the activity of cellular receptors for subgroup E viruses. ev3 and ev6 protected chickens and cultured cells from subgroup E virus infections.
