Phenotypic mixing between vesicular stomatitis and Uukuniemi viruses.
The population of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) which reproduced in cells preinfected with Uukuniemi virus (UUK) contained a proportion of VSV (UUK) pseudotypes. The virions containing the VSV genome were resistant to anti-VSV serum and neutralized with anti-UUK serum. In addition to previous reports on phenotypic mixing of different families of enveloped viruses, the combination of rhabdovirus surface antigen with bunyavirus genome is described.
