Table 1 Cell and virus properties
From: Design and engineering of a transmissible antiviral defense
| Type of cell | If infected by | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Uninfected | Lethal virus | Cell dies; lethal virus produces progeny |
| " | Vaccine | Protected against lethal virus; remains susceptible to helper virus; cannot produce vaccine progeny |
| " | Helper | Remains susceptible to lethal virus; produces helper progeny; can no longer be infected by vaccine |
| Vaccine-infected | Helper | Remains protected against lethal virus; now reproduces helper and vaccine progeny |
| Helper-infected | Lethal virus | Cell dies; lethal virus produces progeny |
