Purification of the envelope glycoproteins of western equine encephalitis virus by glass wool column chromatography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glass wool column chromatography was used for separation of the two glycoproteins of western equine encephalitis virus. Cross-contamination of each protein separated was confirmed to be negligible by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Structural proteins of Chikungunya virus.
Polyacrylamide gel analysis of the structural proteins of African and Asian strains of Chikungunya virus, an alphavirus, showed that both strains contain three structural proteins: glycosylated E1 and E2, embedded in the viral envelope, and a nonglycosylated nucleocapsid protein. In pulse-chase experiments the precursor protein PE2 was chased into glycoprotein E2, which migrated slightly faster...
متن کاملStructural proteins of Western equine encephalitis virus: amino acid compositions and N-terminal sequences.
The structural proteins of Western equine encephalitis virus, a member of the alphavirus group, have been characterized by the determination of their amino acid compositions and by N-terminal sequence analysis. More than 60 residues of the N-terminal sequences of each of the envelope glycoproteins have been determined. A comparison of these sequences with the previously determined sequences of ...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of antiviral protein from silkworm fecal matter
Antiviral proteins (AVP), present in silkworm fecal matter, show activity against nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in vitro and in vivo. The extract of silkworm fecal matter prepared in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.5 was subjected to 50% solid ammonium sulfate precipitation to enrich AVP, then which was dialyzed. The dialysate was applied to the column containing silica gel-G, the column e...
متن کاملCloning, expression and purification of envelope proteins E1 and E2 of western equine encephalitis virus and potential use of them as antigens in immunoassays.
The genes encoding envelope proteins E1 and E2 of western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) were respectively cloned into a prokaryotic T7 RNA polymerase-regulated expression vector. The recombinant C-terminal 6xHis-tagged WEEV E1 and E2 were expressed in bacteria as inclusion bodies that were subsequently solubilized with 8M urea, purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography and fi...
متن کاملDirected molecular evolution improves the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus DNA vaccine.
We employed directed molecular evolution to improve the cross-reactivity and immunogenicity of the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) envelope glycoproteins. The DNA encoding the E1 and E2 proteins from VEEV subtypes IA/B and IE, Mucambo virus (MUCV), and eastern and western equine encephalitis viruses (EEEV and WEEV) were recombined in vitro to create libraries of chimeric genes expre...
