title: A mutant standard virus isolated from vesicular stomatitis virus persistent infection interferes specifically with wild-type virus replication.
abstract: A clone of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) isolated after 76 months of persistence exerts specific homologous interference with replication of wild-type or tsG31 (temperature-sensitive) virus in a mixed infection at 37 degrees C in the absence of defective-interfering particles. Other VSV ts mutants showed little or no specific interfering ability.
