On mouse adaption of A/FM/1/47, a variant, A/FM/1/47-MA (FM-MA), that had acquired the properties of increased virulence and interference was produced. Coinfection of cells with FM-MA and prototype strains of influenza virus yielded &gt; 100-fold more FM-MA virus than prototype virus, whereas coinfection with the same prototype strains and the parental A/FM/1/47 virus produced equivalent yields, indicating that FM-MA had acquired mutations that confer the property of interference during mouse adaption. FM-MA is a nondefective interfering virus that grows to a high titer in vivo and in vitro. It has previously been shown that segments 4, 7, and 8 and possibly segment 5 account for the increased virulence. In this study we show by genetic analysis of FM-MA x A/HK/1/68 reassortants that segment 2, coding for the polymerase-associated protein PB1, and possibly segment 8, encoding the NS1 and NS2 proteins, control the ability of FM-MA to interfere. Interference could not be overcome by increasing the titer of the coinfecting strain, but delaying FM-MA infection by 4 to 6 h did avoid interference. During interference of A/HK/1/68, protein synthesis was inhibited by less than 65% throughout coinfection. Given the kinetics of interference and the small perturbation in protein synthesis, interference appeared to occur at the level of late genome replication or virus assembly. Virulence and interference in FM-MA were not linked. An interfering avirulent FM-MA x A/HK/1/68 reassortant, E07, was capable of protecting mice against lethal pneumonia due to a virulent noninterfering reassortant, H04.

Interference is controlled by segment 2 and possibly by segment 8 of the nondefective interfering influenza virus variant A/FM/1/47-MA
