Vero cells persistently infected with tacaribe virus: role of interfering particles in the establishment of the infection

Eight Vero cell sublines (Vero T) persistently infected with wild type Tacaribe virus replicated in different hosts were established. In order to unravel the mecha- nism involved in the initiation and maintenance of persistence, the properties of virus shed by the sublines and the presence of interf...

Similarly, the addition of IP to virus inocula constituted by Tac-pi viruses released by Vero T2, Vero T3, Vero T4, Vero T5, Vero T6, Vero T7 and Vero T10 sublines gave rise to persistently infected cultures.
