title: Characterization of the 3' terminus of RNA isolated from vesicular stomatitis virus and from its defective interfering particles.
abstract: 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.
