Interaction between Sendai virus and KB cell lines with altered cell fusion ability: a study employing electron spin resonance.

The nature of the interaction between Sendai virus and Sil mutant cells was examined by measuring a change in ESR spectrum of spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine molecules on the viral envelope. When spin-labeled virus was incubated with the Sil cells that had a reduced ability to respond to virus-induced cell fusion, interchange of the phospholipid molecules between viral envelope and cell surface membrane occurred to a smaller extent than that observed with parental cells. Moreover, the degree of the interchanging correlated with the degree of the fusion capacity of the mutant lines. The results show that the mutant cells carry such a lesion(s) on their surface membranes that the viral envelopes can hardly fuse into them.
