Characterization of the 3′ terminus of RNA isolated from vesicular stomatitis virus and from its defective interfering particles

PMCID: PMC430755  PMID: 193096

Abstract

The 3′ termini of RNA from vesicular stomatitis virus and from three widely dissimilar defective interfering particles of the virus are PypGpU-OH. The possible relevance of these findings to autointerference and to replication of vesicular stomatitis virus is discussed.

Keywords: RNA termini, autointerference
