Resistance to superinfection of Vero cells persistently infected with Junin virus

Two non-virogenic Vero cell lines persistently infected with the arenavirus Junin (JUNV), named V3 and V7, were characterized with respect to their resistance to superinfection with homologous and antigenically related viruses. Both lines were refractory to JUNV multiplication and partially resistan...
