Abstract

Pseudorabies virus-induced cell fusion in rabbit kidney cells can be prevented by Concanavalin A added early after infection. The infected cells are not agglutinated and the infectivity of cell-free virus is not reduced. Sera from productively infected animals also inhibit polykaryocytosis, whereas a hyperimmune serum directed against virus structural components has no effect. 2-Deoxy-d-glucose reversibly disturbs virus-induced fusion and reduces significantly the virus infectivity.
