Morphology and Biochemical Charateristics of the Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus of Malacosoma neustria testacea
Abstract: Malacosoma neustria testacea nuclear polyhedrosis virus(MntNPV)is a kind of multi-embeded baculovirus, Scanning EM shows that MntNPV inclusion bodies are irreguIar polyhedra with different sizes The average diameter of polyhedra is 1.3μm. Virions have a mean size of 366×90nm, The virus genome is a circular DNA macromolecule with length of 37.2μm. SDS-PAGE exhibits that polyhcdrin has only oue major polypeptide with MW of 30.2KD, Virions have at least 21 polypeptide bands with MW ranged from 16.5KD to 107KD....
