| structure-function relationships and mode of replication of animal rhabdoviruses. | recently accumulated knowledge allows more precise comparison of the structural (and possibly evolutionary) relationships of several different animal rhabdoviruses: vesicular stomatitis virus, rabies virus, kern canyon virus, and spring viremia of carp virus. each virus is composed primarily of a glycoprotein, an rna-associated nucleoprotein, and one or two membrane proteins. vesicular stomatitis virus group viruses contain lesser amounts of two additional distinct polypeptides, ns and l. the se ... | 1975 | 165494 |
| comparison of the ribonucleic acid polymerases of two rhabdoviruses, kern canyon virus and vesicular stomatitis virus. | a ribonucleic acid (rna)-dependent rna polymerase has been demonstrated in kern canyon virus (kcv) particles. the rna product of the kcv polymerase hybridizes to kcv viral rna. the properties of this viral enzyme have been characterized and compared with those of vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv). rna polymerases from both viruses require similar conditions of temperature, ph, and detergent and magnesium concentrations for maximal synthesis of rna. the rna polymerase contained in the virion of kc ... | 1971 | 4327891 |
| kern canyon virus: electron microscopic and immunological studies. | kern canyon virus (kcv), propagated in suckling mouse brain and cell culture, was examined by negative contrast and thin section electron microscopy. the virus was found to exhibit symmetry similar to other viruses of the stomatoviridae family. the bullet-shaped virus particles had a mean length of 132 micron and were 73 micron in diameter. cross striations, axial channels and surface projections were prominent. virus maturation occurred on marginal cytoplasmic membranes with mature virions accu ... | 1967 | 18614084 |
