Characterization of the 3' terminus of RNA isolated from vesicular stomatitis virus and from its defective interfering particles.
The 3' termini of RNA from vesicular stomatitis virus and from three widely dissimilar defective interfering particles of the virus are PypGpU-OH. The possible relevance of these findings to autointerference and to replication of vesicular stomatitis virus is discussed.
