Evidence for a host cell component in vesicular stomatitis virus.

Indirect evidence for the presence of Ribonucleic acid in vesicular stomatitis Virions

Glycolipid nature of the complement-fixing host cell antigen of vesicular stomatitis virus.

Serological evidence for the presence of a host-cell component of vesicular stomatitis virus particles was provided by Cartwright & Pearce 0968). They showed by complement fixation reactions that purified virus particles prepared from virus grown in BHK zI cells reacted with antiserum to BHK cell but not with antiserum to pig kidney cells. Conversely, virus grown in pig kidney cells fixed compl...

Host Cell Functions In Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Replication

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the prototypic rhabdovirus, has been used as an excellent paradigm for understanding the mechanisms of virus replication, pathogenesis, host response to virus infection and also for myriads of studies on cellular and molecular biology. Biochemical studies as well as high-throughput genomics, proteomics, and chemical approaches have revealed a plethora of cellul...

Requirement of cell nucleus for Sindbis virus replication in cultured Aedes albopictus cells.

The ability of Sindbis virus to grow in enucleated BHK-21 (vertebrate) and Aedes albopictus (invertebrate) cells was tested to determine the dependence of this virus upon nuclear function in these two phylogenetically unrelated hosts. Although both cell types could be demonstrated to produce viable cytoplasts (enucleated cells) which produced virus-specific antigen subsequent to infection. BHK ...

Carbohydrate composition of the membrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus.

The carbohydrate composition of the membrane glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus has been determined for virus grown in four different mammalian cell lines. The glycoprotein contains mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and neuraminic acid as the major carbohydrate components, whereas N-acetyl-galactosamine and fucose are present in lesser amounts. The glycoprotein contains approxima...
