We have assigned 34 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of the WSN strain of influenza virus into seven nonoverlapping recombination-complementation groups by conducting pairwise crosses. A single gene of the viral genome was affected in 27 mutants while six were double mutants and one was a triple mutant. The synthesis of virion RNA in mutant-infected cells at the nonpermissive temperature was studied by the incorporation of [3H]uridine in the presence of actinomycin D into an acid-insoluble product. This method separated mutants into two classes. Mutants belonging to Groups I, II, III, and V were RNA−, while those belonging to Groups IV, VI, and VII were RNA+. The results of temperature shift-up experiments suggested that all four groups of RNA−mutants were defective in replicating virion RNA. Production of serologically or functionally active subviral components (ribonucleoprotein, hemagglutinin, and neuraminidase) by RNA−mutants at the nonpermissive temperature was variable. RNA+mutants produced a normal amount of these components, except Group IV mutants in which the production of functional hemagglutinin and neuraminidase was greatly depressed.
