“…In these cells viral growth was inhibited at variety of steps including adsorption [14,15,32], penetration [2,18,22,23,27,30,31,38], and intracellular transport or modification of viral proteins [1,9,31,33,[35][36][37]. Other mutant cell lines were producing interferons constitutively [t 1,12,24]. In most cases, however, mutant cell lines were only poorly characterized and host factors altered in those cells remain largely unknown.…”
