Infection of mouse [fibroblast] L cells with VSV [vesicular stomatitis virus] leads to the formation of polykaryocytes .apprx. 4-12 h p.i. [post-infection]. When [rabbit] anti-VSV immune serum was added during the course of infection, progression of cell fusion was soon suppressed. Cycloheximide completely suppressed the cell fusion when the drug was added within 1 h p.i.; cell fusion was not suppressed at all when the drug was added at and after 3 h. Early polykaryocyte formation, fusion from without, was observed only at a low level in cells infected at very high multiplicities. The development of cell fusion induced by VSV was different in several cell types, although all these cells produced a rather high yield of virus: L and C-243-3 mouse cell lines showed a high level of polykaryocytosis (80-100%); BHK [baby hamster kidney] and RK-13 [rabbit kidney-13] cells responded at low level; and PS [porcine kidney] and Vero [green monkey kidney] cells showed no cell fusion in response to VSV infection. In PS cells, cell fusion occurred when VSV-infected L cells were co-cultivated. The mechanism of cell fusion induced by VSV was discussed.
