  • Title: Effect of human interferon on vesicular stomatitis virus released from bovine embryonic kidney cells.
    Author: Harrell SA, Maheshwari RK, Mohanty SB, Friedman RM.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1982 Apr; 43(4):565-8. PubMed ID: 6176154.
    Abstract:
    Human lymphoblastoid interferon (IFN) had an antiviral activity in bovine embryonic kidney cells that resulted in the release of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) particles with decreased infectivity. The inhibition was dose dependent and the cells were highly sensitive to human IFN. Examination of the proteins of VSV released from bovine cells after IFN treatment showed a reduction in the glycoprotein. Electron microscopic studies revealed a large number of VSV particles with characteristic spike-like surface projections released from nontreated cells. There was a reduction in the number of mature virions produced in IFN-treated cells and the virions lacked the characteristic surface projections.
