Species-specific and interspecific antigenic determinants associated with the structural protein of feline C-type virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The group-specific protein of feline leukemia viruses has been isolated by isoelectric focusing. This protein has a molecular weight, calculated from sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, of 25,000 and forms a resolved band in such gels when disrupted virions are analyzed. This protein contains both species-specific antigenic determinants, as well as interspecific cross-reactive determinants, as an integral part of its structure.

Interspecies antigenic determinants of the reverse transcriptases and p30 proteins of mammalian type C viruses.
The major internal structural proteins (p30) of type C viruses isolated from several mammalian species were studied by radioimmunoprecipitation and competitive radioimmunoassays. Three antigenically distinguishable sets of interspecies determinants could be demonstrated by both methods. One set of determinants shared by viruses of rodent origin (mouse and rat) can be detected readily in feline ...
متن کاملStructural proteins of mammalian oncogenic RNA viruses: immunological characterization of the p15 polypeptide of Rauscher murine virus.
The immunological properties of the purified 15,000-dalton protein of Rauscher murine type-C virus were analyzed by radioimmunoassay. The majority of the antigenic determinants of this protein were found to be remarkably specific to Rauscher and Friend virus and to a lesser extent to Moloney virus. Determinants reactive with other murine viruses (group-specific) or type-C viruses of other speci...
متن کاملComparisons of the immunological properties of two structural polypeptides of type C RNA viruses endogenous to old world monkeys.
Immunologically very closely related type C RNA viruses are endogenous to the domestic cat and to an old world primate, the baboon. In the present studies, radioimmunological techniques have been developed for detection of the 15,000 and 30,000 molecular weight (MW) polypeptides of each virus. The much more pronounced type-specific antigenic determinants of the lower MW polypeptides made it pos...
متن کاملDevelopment of Preventive Vaccines for Hepatitis C Virus E1/E2 Protein
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is responsible for a vast majority of liver failure cases. HCV is a kind of blood disease appraised to chronically infect 3% of the worlds’ population causing significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a complete knowledge of humoral responses against HCV, resulting antibodies, and virus-receptor and virus-antibody interactions, are essential to design a vaccine. HC...

The present study was carried out for the antigen detection of Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) in diarrhoeic cats referred to the Veterinary Clinic of the School of Ahvaz University, in southwest Iran. Faecal samples were collected from 67 diarrhoeic household cats during 2005 to 2007. According to the age and clinical signs, the cats were divided into two groups; 6 months, hemorrhagic and ...
