A radially diffusing zone of nonspecific interference was observed surrounding plaques of Western equine encephalitis virus. The increase in diameters of the zones of interference were linear and more rapid than increases in plaque diameters. These observations raise the possibility that viral-induced interference could account for the diminished growth of Western equine encephalitis virus plaques with time or even the initial formation of plaques. In addition, this system could be used as a model to study localized host defenses during early infection of solid tissues in vivo.
在西部马脑炎病毒蚀斑周围观察到一个呈放射状扩散的非特异性干扰区。干扰区直径的增加呈线性,且比蚀斑直径的增加更为迅速。这些观察结果提示,病毒诱导的干扰可能是西部马脑炎病毒蚀斑随时间增长减弱甚至蚀斑最初形成的原因。此外,该系统可作为一个模型,用于研究体内实体组织早期感染期间的局部宿主防御。
