Abstract
The baculovirus from the lepidopteran host Autographa californica (alfalfa looper) was shown to replicate in a dipteran cell line without the production of characteristic polyhedral inclusion bodies. The low level of replication could not be detected by 50% tissue culture infective dose titrations, but was apparent by [3H]thymidine labeling of the viral genome. Immunoprecipitation of the radioactive product confirmed baculovirus production.
