title: Influenza B virus: alpha-amanitin sensitivity of replication and primer-dependence of in vitro transcription.
abstract: The replication of influenza B/Lee/40 virus in MDCK (canine kidney) cells was sensitive to alpha-amanitin and actinomycin D. In vitro, virion transcriptase activity was stimulated by dinucleotide primers such as ApG. The above characteristics are shared by A/WSN virus.
