PRRSV isolates were differentially sensitive to porcine recombinant IFN-α (rIFN-α) and varied in their ability to induce IFN-α in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAM) cultures as measured by a porcine IFN-α specific ELISA on cell culture supernatants. In this study, North American field isolates of PRRSV were evaluated with respect to induction, sensitivity and suppression of an in vitro type I IFN response. UV-inactivated PRRSV stocks were tested to determine whether virus binding to the cells is responsible for enhanced IFN-a production by polyI:C in cells infected with isolate 3 (Fig. 6) . In this study, North American PRRSV field isolates were evaluated with respect to induction, sensitivity and suppression of an in vitro IFN response in PAM cultures.
