Interactions between PARA-7 particles and adenoviruses. (a, b) Mutual dependence between adeno particles and PARA in hybrid populations. The synthesis of SV40 tumor antigen in b by a hybrid requires the multiplication of both adeno particles and PARA. (c) Transcapsidation. PARA-7 particles (from an SV40-adenovirus type 7 hybrid) grown in the presence of adenovirus type 2 acquire the protein coat of the helper adenovirus. This results in an SV40-adenovirus type 2 hybrid population containing both pure adeno-2 and PARA-2 particles.
