Rapid evolution of RNA genomes

TL;DR: RNA viruses show high mutation frequencies partly because of a lack of the proofreading enzymes that assure fidelity of DNA replication, and high rates of replication reflected in rates of RNA genome evolution which can be more than a millionfold greater than the rates of the DNA chromosome evolution of their hosts.

Origin and replication of defective interfering particles.

TL;DR: Defective interfering virus (DI) particles represent a major controlling element of virus replication and only amplify to interfering levels when the parent helper vims is abundant.

Structural proteins of adenoviruses: II. Purification and characterization of the adenovirus type 2 fiber antigen☆

TL;DR: Treatment of penton antigen with pyridine releases free vertex capsomers which are immunologically and morphologically intact and have the ability to induce cytopathic changes in KB-cell cultures.
Book ChapterDOI

Reproduction of Paramyxoviruses

TL;DR: Measles, canine distemper, and rinderpest viruses form a distinct subgroup on the basis of antigenicity, hemagglutinating characteristics, and lack of evidence for a virion-associated neuraminidase or neuraminic acid-containing cellular receptors, but it is now generally accepted that these viruses should be included in the paramyxovirus group because of their similar structural properties.

Defective Interfering Animal Viruses

TL;DR: Defective interfering particles were discovered three decades ago by von Magnus using the influenza virus system and a great deal was learned from their physiological interactions with the host and from their interference with the multiplication of “infectious” standard virus.

A Method for Determining the Sedimentation Behavior of Enzymes: Application to Protein Mixtures

TL;DR: Sucrose gradient centrifugation is found to be a suitable method for determining sedimentation coefficients of enzymes in protein mixtures and the sedimentation behavior of several of the enzymes in the pathway of histidine biosynthesis in S. typhimurium has been determined.

Defective Viral Particles and Viral Disease Processes

TL;DR: Preparations of many different types of viruses contain defective particles which consist of viral structural proteins and a part of the viral genome and may play a major part in the evolution of viral diseases.

Defective T particles of vesicular stomatitis virus. I. Preparation, morphology, and some biologic properties.

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that T is a distinct, truncated form of B which contains only a portion of the VSV genome, and is the physical equivalent of the transmissible interfering component of Cooper and Bellett (1959).

Defective T particles of vesicular stomatitis virus. II. Biologic role in homologous interference.

TL;DR: Defective T particles partially purified from undiluted-passage stocks of Indiana serotype vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV up) markedly interfered with growth of homotypic infectious B particles in Krebs-2 mouse ascites tumor cells.
