Characterization of ribonucleic acid from visna virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A single-stranded ribonucleic acid(s) has been isolated from purified virions of visna virus. It consists of two major components, namely 63S and "4S," under the conditions employed for ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction. The 63S component can be converted to subunits by heat and dimethylsulfoxide treatments. Analyses by base composition indicate that the "4S" RNA isolated from visna virus is not a random breakdown product of the 63S component as a result of extraction, nor is it randomly derived from cellular RNA.

Characterization of visna virus envelope neuraminic acid.
Visna virus particles inhibit influenza virus hemagglutination in an assay for neuraminic acid-containing viruses. Pretreatment of visna virus with neuraminidase abolished hemagglutination inhibition activity but did not significantly affect attachment, infectivity, or virus-induced cell fusion in sheep choroid plexus cell monolayers.
متن کاملImmunofluorescence and cytochemical studies of visna virus in cell culture.
Sequential morphological changes occurring in sheep choroid plexus cells infected with visna virus were studied by direct immunofluorescence, acridine orange, and hematoxylin and eosin staining methods. Specific immunofluorescence was first detected in the perinuclear cytoplasm of solitary cells 24 hr after infection. As the infection progressed, viral antigen appeared in an increasing number o...
متن کاملCharacterization of a membrane-associated protein implicated in visna virus binding and infection.
The identity of the cellular receptor(s) for visna virus, an ovine lentivirus, is currently unknown; however, previous studies from our laboratory have identified membrane-associated proteins expressed selectively in susceptible cells which bind visna virus. Moreover, a polyclonal antibody (2-23), raised against a 45-kDa visna virus binding protein, bound specifically to the surface of suscepti...
متن کاملGenetic Characterization of Field Isolates of Maedi-visna Virus (mvv) in Sheep from Poland
The 375 bp fragment of gag gene encoding fragment of matrix protein p16 of ten field isolates of maedi-visna virus (MVV) was amplified; and all the sequences were subsequently subjected to sequencing and genetic analysis. Among isolates, the homologies ranged from 87.2% to 100% and 88% to 100% at the nucleotide and amino acid level, respectively. Polish strains were more related to ovine protot...
