  • Title: Sensitivity of ortho- and paramyxovirus replication to human interferon alpha.
    Author: Strube M, Bodo G, Jungwirth C.
    Journal: Mol Biol Rep; 1985 Oct; 10(4):237-43. PubMed ID: 4069110.
    Abstract:
    Replication of the influenza virus strains Influenza Ao/WSN (H0N1), fowl plague (Hav1N1) and B-Lee/40 (ATCC) and the paramyxovirus, New Castle disease virus (Victoria) are highly sensitive to human interferon type alpha in Madin Darby bovine kidney cells. Pretreatment of cells with human interferon type alpha resulted in protection of the cells against viral cytopathic effect. The inhibition of the orthomyxovirus strains used in this study and New Castle disease virus replication is mediated by an inhibition of viral protein synthesis. Residual WSN virus particles released from interferon treated cells showed the same structural protein pattern as virus particles isolated from control cells. Glycosylation of the viral structural components appeared to be unaffected by interferon.
