Abstract

Purified defective interfering (DI) particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) inhibit the replication of a heterologous virus, pseudorabies virus (PSR), in hamster (BHK-21) and rabbit (RC-60) cell lines. In contrast to infectious B particles of VSV, UV irradiation of DI particles does not reduce their ability to inhibit PSR replication. However, UV irradiation progressively reduces the ability of DI particles to cause homologous interference with B particle replication. Pretreatment with interferon does not affect the ability of DI particles to inhibit PSR replication in a rabbit cell line (RC-60) in which RNA, but not DNA, viruses are sensitive to the action of interferon. Under similar conditions of interferon pretreatment, the inhibition of PSR by B particles is blocked. These data suggest that de novo VSV RNA or protein synthesis is not required for the inhibition of PSR replication by DI particles. DI particles that inhibit PSR replication also inhibit host RNA and protein synthesis in BHK-21 and RC-60 cells. Based on the results described and data in the literature, it is proposed that the same component of VSV B and DI particles is responsible for most, if not all, of the inhibitory activities of VSV, except homologous interference.
