PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 30,000-DALTON STRUCTURAL PROTEIN INDUCED BY HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE-2
Abstract: A 30,000-dalton structural protein(VP30)on herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) -infected BHK cell membranes was purified with an immunoadsorbent column consisting of the HSV-2 type-specific monoclonal antibody(McAb) CH-A9 coupled to Sepharose 4B. The Evidence shows that the VP30 has some properties as follows: First, its molecular weight determined by sodium dodecyl sufate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)is 30,000. Second, the structural protein is HSV-2 type-specific antigen showed by indirect ...
