Treatment of mink cell focus-inducing (MCF) virus (isolate AK-13) producing SC-1 cells with mouse fibroblast interferon (150 to 600 U/ml) led to a 100-fold decrease in the release of infectious virus, whereas there was a 2.5- to 10-fold decrease in various parameters of virus particle release. Analysis of labeled virion proteins indicated that a temporal change in virion protein composition occurred after interferon treatment. After a 24-h exposure of chronically infected cells to interferon, the virions produced contained a 85,000-dalton glycoprotein (apparently of nonviral origin) which was in excess of the virus envelope glycoprotein gp70. Particles produced from cells treated with interferon for 32 to 48 h were nearly devoid of gp70 and contained substantially lower quantities of p30. Intracellular processing of viral precursor polyproteins to the mature virion structural proteins was not altered in the presence of interferon. However, an accumulation of the viral p30 and p12E proteins was observed in interferon-treated cells, consistent with an increase in cell-associated virions. Immunoprecipitation analysis of the tissue culture fluids from [35S]methionine-labeled control and interferon-treated cells revealed marked decrease in p30 and p15E/p12E released after interferon treatment. In contrast, gp70 did not accumulate in interferon-treated cells, but was released into the culture medium in a form that was neither pelletable nor associated with p15E/p12E.
