Progeny resulting from complementation between mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus.
The complementation properties of the virus progeny released from cells mixedly infected with mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus belonging to four different complementation groups have been examined. The group IV mutant, tsW16B, was tested in combinations with three group I mutants (tsW4, tsW28, and tsG11), one group II mutant (tsG22), and one group III mutant (tsW29). Virus stocks were grown from isolated plaques appearing on the cell monolayers used to assay the mixed infection yields and tested, in a second series of mixed infections, for their ability to complement each of the two parents. It was found that the virus harvested from each one of the first series of mixed infections contained mutants of both parental types.
