Distinction between Drosophila strains, differing in their capacity for supporting multiplication of sigma virus, arises from comparison of the incubation time after inoculation of a viral suspension. This is the most general and the most useful characteristic. By this mean 5 allelic differences with the reference Drosophila strain Oregon have been found. Corresponding genes, ref(1)H, ref(2)M, ref(2)P, ref(3)O and ref(3)D are located all over Drosophila chromosomes. The specific spectra of viral strains sensitive to the one or the other allele was determined for each gene. Homozygotes for each of the 2 alleles of a gene which acts on incubation time can show no difference in one property which is specific of a differentiated cell type only because the considered gene is not expressed in the cell type involved. Conversely, genes can exist which act on such a property and which have no action on incubation time. Probably such a gene has been discovered; it intervenes in the transmission of sigma virus by stabilized males; this gene is named ref(3)V. Ref(1)H, ref(2)M, ref(2)P, ref(3)D and possibly ref(3)V genes (if this last gene intervenes directly in sigma''s physiology) are involved in a function necessary for replication. No conclusive evidence has been found for ref(3)O, still it seems to intervene in a late function. Problems of functional interactions between products of the first 5 ref genes have been mentioned.
