RESUMO
The HeLa subline K11A-HG-1 (line of HeLa cells persistently infected with Edomonston measles virus but containing little or no transmissible infectious virus) was co-cultivated with Vero cells. Focal syncytia were formed containing measles antigen and accumulations of nucleocapsid-like structures with no detectable production of transmissible infectious virus or positive hemadsorption. The infection aborted between 2 and 3 weeks after preparation of co-cultures. Upon subculture of co-cultures, occasionally complete infections (progressive syncytial degeneration, hemadsorption, and production of transmissible infectious virus) appeared. A linear dose response curve for nontransmissible infection was obtained along with evidence that measles antigen had to be present on the surface of K11A-HG-1 cells for their infectivity for Vero cells. The basis for initiation of Vero cell infection by living K11A-HG-1 cells, but not by nonviable intact K11A-HG-1 cells killed by a virus-preserving technique, nor by disrupted K11A-HG-1 cells, is, at present, a matter of speculation. However, several lines of evidence were obtained which suggested that subsequent development of delayed variable transmissible Vero cell infection occurred because of a type of viral interference, including the presence of an inhibitor in K11A-HG-1 cultures, the bulk of which was cell-associated.
