Characterization of visna virus envelope neuraminic acid.

چکیده
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.

Characterization of ribonucleic acid from visna virus.
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 no...
متن کاملPrecursor polypeptides to structural proteins of visna virus.
Visna virus is a retrovirus which replicates in fibroblast-like cells of the sheep choroid plexus through a lytic cycle. Visna virions contain three major low-molecular-weight proteins (p30, p16, and p14) which, together with the genomic RNA and several molecules of reverse transcriptase, constitute the core structure of the virions. The core is surrounded by an envelope containing a major glyc...

متن کاملNaturally occurring mutations within 39 amino acids in the envelope glycoprotein of maedi-visna virus alter the neutralization phenotype.
Infectious molecular clones have been isolated from two maedi-visna virus (MVV) strains, one of which (KV1772kv72/67) is an antigenic escape mutant of the other (LV1-1KS1). To map the type-specific neutralization epitope, we constructed viruses containing chimeric envelope genes by using KV1772kv72/67 as a backbone and replacing various parts of the envelope gene with equivalent sequences from ...
متن کاملVisna virus encodes a post-transcriptional regulator of viral structural gene expression.
Visna virus is an ungulate lentivirus that is distantly related to the primate lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Replication of HIV-1 and of other complex primate retroviruses, including human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I), requires the expression in trans of a virally encoded post-transcriptional activator of viral structural gene expression termed Re...
