Permissiveness of mouse, monkey and hybrid cells to encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus.
Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus replicates to high titre in permissive mouse kidney (MKS) cells but poorly in monkey kidney (CV1) cells. The permissiveness of monkey-mouse hybrid cells varies according to their chromosomal content. In monkey cells, the synthesis of both single-stranded and double-stranded virus RNA is restricted; in semi-permissive hybrid clones, the double-stranded RNA is synthesized normally, whereas the synthesis of the single-stranded RNA is inhibited. Thus, it seems that more than one restrictive event is responsible for the low permissiveness of monkey cells to EMC virus.
