Abstract
AFTER infection of chick embryo cells with fowl plague virus (FPV), an influenza A virus, or with Newcastle disease virus (NDV), a para-influenza virus, “early proteins” are synthesized before viral RNA-synthesis starts1–4. These “early proteins” might function as an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase as has been demonstrated for picornaviruses5. In contrast to the picornaviruses, the “early proteins” of the myxoviruses are stable1–4. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether or not the “early protein” induced by FPV is able to function for the multiplication of NDV.
