Viral interference

Viral interference, also known as superinfection resistance,[1] is the inhibition of viral reproduction caused by previous exposure of cells to another virus.[2] The exact mechanism for viral interference is unknown.[3] Factors that have been implicated are the generation of interferons by infected cells,[4] and the occupation or down-modulation of cellular receptors.[1]
