Low-pH-induced fusion of Vero cells infected with Junin virus

Junin virus (JV) infected Veto cells were used to investigate virus capacity to induce cell cell fusion. Polykaryocyte formation due to JV was found to be pH and temperature-dependent. A reduced fusion activity was detected on BHK-21 cells. Different JV-strains exhibited a similar extent and pH depe...
