Spendlove, RexS. (California State Department of Public Health, Berkeley),Edwin H. Lennette, Charles O. Knight, and Jean N. Chin. Production in FL cells of infectious and potentially infectious reovirus. J. Bacteriol.92:1036–1040. 1966.—A comparative study was made of the development in, and release from, FL cells of infectious and potentially infectious (chymotrypsin-activatable) reovirus (Lang strain). The latent period was shorter, the rate of synthesis was more rapid, and the total yield was more than 10-fold greater in potentially infectious virus as compared with infectious virus. Almost all of the potentially infectious virus, but only approximately one-third of the infectious virus, was released from the infected cells.
