RESUMO

Following infection by pairs of reovirus isolates consisting of combinations of reovirus T1 Lang, T2 Jones, or T3 Dearing, we found that one of the isolates interfered with the yield of progeny RNA derived from the other parents. The most significant interference was produced by T2 Jones or T3 Dearing, when mixed with T1 Lang. Genetic analysis revealed that the presence of the M2 gene in the interfering parent (in the T1 Lang x T3 Dearing pair) was linked to interference. Studies on interference in infected cells indicated that interference occurs after adsorption and penetration.
