Analysis of antigenic determinants of structural polypeptides of avian type C tumor viruses

J R Stephenson et al. J Virol. 1975 Jul.

Abstract

Radioimmunoassays were developed for the 19,000, 15,000, and 12,000 molecular weight polypeptides of avian myeloblastosis virus and for the 19,000 and 12,000 polypeptides of RAV-0, a subgroup E avian tumor virus. Each polypeptide was shown to possess both group- and type-specific antigenic determinants, in contrast to the 27,000 mol wt polypeptide, which contained only group-specific determinants. The corresponding low-molecular-weight polypeptides of subgroup A, B, and E viruses were shown to be immunologically indistinguishable. The findings that low-molecular-weight polypeptides of subgroup C and D viruses reacted very differently in immunoassays for the respective polypeptides of avian myeloblastosis virus or RAV-0 suggest that subgroups C and D may have evolved differently form subgroups A, B, and E.
