Appearance of Defective Virions in Clones of Reovirus

Meihan Nonoyama 1,1, A F Graham 1,2
PMCID: PMC376176  PMID: 5483439

Abstract

Virus obtained from five plaques of reovirus was serially passaged in L cells. Defective virions arose in each clone by the seventh passage. Such defective virions lacked the largest of the 10 segments of the double-stranded ribonucleic acid genome.
