RESUMO
Indirect immunostaining of avian reovirus S1133-infected L-cell monolayers showed that most of the cells can support viral replication. However, the number of cells in which the virus was actually replicating depended on the multiplicity of virus infection. The presence of actinomycin D during infection increased viral protein synthesis, viral growth, and the number of actively infected cells at late infection times. The antibiotic elicited these effects by triggering viral replication in cells that already contained unproductive cytoplasmic virus but that would not get productively infected in the absence of the drug. From these results, we propose a model for the interaction between L cells and avian reovirus S1133 in which viral versus host mRNA competition for the translational machinery determines the fate of the virus infection.
