Defective interfering RNA of influenza virus are small segments derived from viral segments 1, 2 and 3. The complete nucleotide sequences of segments 1 and 3 from the human influenza strain A/PR/8/34 are presented and the sequence of a small RNA segment from A/NT/60/68, apparently a defective interfering RNA, was determined to be derived from 5 separate regions in segment 3 and 1 region in segment 1. These regions, which are located near the termini of the 2 parental segments, are arranged in the small RNA segment in an alternating fashion; thus a region derived from near a 5'' terminus is adjacent to a region derived from near a 3'' terminus. The small segment apparently is generated during positive strand synthesis as a result of the viral polymerase pausing at uridine-rich sequences in the template and reinitiating synthesis at another site.
