Title: The polypeptide composition of avian infectious bronchitis virus particles Cord-id: dje7qbps Document date: 1977_1_1
ID: dje7qbps
Snippet: Egg grown avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) centrifuged on sucrose density gradients was found to consist of a major virus peak of density 1.17 to 1.18 g/cm(3) and occasionally two minor virus peaks of density 1.21 to 1.22 g/cm(3) and 1.13 g/cm(3). Three different IBV strains were examined and no morphological differences were detected between virus particles of different densities or from different strains.

Document: Egg grown avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) centrifuged on sucrose density gradients was found to consist of a major virus peak of density 1.17 to 1.18 g/cm(3) and occasionally two minor virus peaks of density 1.21 to 1.22 g/cm(3) and 1.13 g/cm(3). Three different IBV strains were examined and no morphological differences were detected between virus particles of different densities or from different strains. The polypeptides of the different density virus particles from the three IBV strains were analysed on polyacrylamide gels. In all cases 7 polypeptides were observed, although there were differences in the proportions of these polypeptides in particles of different densities and those from the different strains. The polypeptides have been called VP1 (molecular weight 130,000), VP2 (105,000), VP3 (97,000), VP4 (81,000), VP5 (74,000), VP6 (51,000) and VP7 (33,000). Additional polypeptides were produced if slightly harsher treatments were used.
