  • Title: Immunoelectrophoretic investigations on Sendai virus envelope antigens in relation to host antigens.
    Author: Portocală R, Ghyka G, Samuel I.
    Journal: Virologie; 1977; 28(2):127-31. PubMed ID: 194392.
    Abstract:
    The different antigenic fractions characteristic of egg-cultivated Sendai virus envelopes were studied by immunoelectrophoresis. Virus-specific and host-specific fractions were identified. It was proved that incorporation of the host membrane fragments into the viral envelopes is not a passive phenomenon. During the last stages of its assembly and release, the virus incorporates into the envelopes some host glycoproteins, after an active biochemical processing resulting in a considerable reduction of their molecular weight, while the host antigenic determinants remain almost unaltered.
