Intact particles of rice dwarf phytoreovirus adsorbed to and entered monolayer-cultured cells of the insect vector Nephotettix cincticeps and multiplied within the cells. Particles that lacked the P2 protein neither attached to nor infected such cells. Furthermore, P2-free particles obtained from a transmission-competent isolate of the virus were unable to infect insect vectors that had been allowed to feed on these virus particles through a membrane. However, when such virus particles were injected into insects via a glass capillary tube they successfully infected the insects, which became able to transmit the virus. These results support the hypothesis that, while P2-free particles can neither interact with nor infect cells in the intestinal tract of the insect vector, they do retain the ability to infect such cells when physically introduced into the hemolymph by injection.
水稻矮缩植物呼肠孤病毒的完整颗粒吸附并进入昆虫介体黑尾叶蝉的单层培养细胞,并在细胞内增殖。缺乏P2蛋白的颗粒既不附着也不感染此类细胞。此外,从具有传播能力的病毒分离株中获得的无P2颗粒无法感染通过膜取食这些病毒颗粒的昆虫介体。然而,当通过玻璃毛细管将此类病毒颗粒注射到昆虫体内时,它们成功地感染了昆虫,这些昆虫随后能够传播病毒。这些结果支持了这样一个假说,即虽然无P2颗粒既不能与昆虫介体肠道中的细胞相互作用也不能感染这些细胞,但当通过注射将它们物理引入血淋巴时,它们确实保留了感染此类细胞的能力。
