Investigation of Nucleic Acids and Polypeptides of Chinese Sacbrood Virus
Abstract: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) and agarose gel eleetrophoresis(AGE) were used to analyze the Chinese Sacbrood Virus(CSBV). The experiment revealed the RNA of CSBV is a single-stranded species which is easily degraded, and the virus protein consists of three polypeptides with molecular weight of 27,000, 29,000 and 39,000 daltons respectively. The RNA and three polypeptides of the CSBV were different from those of thesacbrood virus from Apis mellifera (SBV). ′Institute of Apiculture, Chinese Academy...
