Abstract

SUMMARY

Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) induces two types of cell fusion. Cells inoculated at high multiplicity show cell fusion within 2 h. This type of fusion can be induced by non-infectious virus and does not require protein synthesis for induction. Low m.o.i. also induces cell fusion but this depends on production of infectious virus.
