Gutted adenoviral vector growth using E1/E2b/E3-deleted helper viruses [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundHelper‐dependent, or gutted, adenoviruses (Ad) lack viral coding sequences, resulting in reduced immunotoxicity compared with conventional Ad vectors. Gutted Ad growth requires a conventional Ad to supply replication and packaging functions in trans.

Mathematical Models of Host Plant Infection by Helper-Dependent Virus Complexes: Why Are Helper Viruses Always Avirulent? [PDF]
Interactions between viruses in plants are common, and some viruses depend on such interactions for their survival. Frequently, a virus lacks some essential molecular function that another provides. In “helper-dependent” virus complexes, the helper virus is transmitted independently by a vector, whereas the dependent virus depends on molecular agents ...

Isolation of Helper Viruses from Preparations of Hamster-specific Sarcoma Viruses
Summary Non-transforming helper viruses were isolated from pools of two hamster-specific sarcoma viruses in which isolations by terminal dilution procedures had previously been unsuccessful. This presumably resulted from approximately equivalent levels of sarcoma and helper viruses in the original pools.

The helper strategy in vector-transmission of plant viruses
An intriguing aspect of vector-transmission of plant viruses is the frequent involvement of a helper component (HC). HCs are virus-encoded non-structural proteins produced in infected plant cells that are mandatory for the transmission success. Over five

5'-terminal nucleotide sequences of mammalian type C helper viruses are conserved in the genomes of replication-defective mammalian transforming viruses [PDF]
The RNAs of replication-defective murine and primate type C transforming viruses were analyzed for the presence of nucleotide sequences homologous to the genomes of their respective helper type C viruses by using DNAs complementary (cDNA) to either the 5'-terminal (cDNA5') or total (cDNAtotal) nucleotide sequences of the helper virus RNA. The defective

In vitro interactions between cucumoviral satellite RNAs and RNAs of helper and non-helper viruses
A model, previously proposed for the interaction of the satellite RNAs with the genomic RNAs of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), has been evaluated experimentally.

An siRNA Screen Identifies the U2 snRNP Spliceosome as a Host Restriction Factor for Recombinant Adeno-associated Viruses. [PDF]
Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) have evolved to exploit the dynamic reorganization of host cell machinery during co-infection by adenoviruses and other helper viruses.

Rauscher spleen focus-forming virus: biological properties and relationship to helper viruses.
A Rauscher virus (RV)-transformed erythroid cell line, RA-1, was shown to be a non-producer cell line. RA-1 cells express not only gp51-54 env-related glycoprotein, but also gp70, which is more closely related to gp51-54 coded by a recombinant env gene than to the MuLV-R gp70.
