Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. VI. Isolation of a glycoprotein mediating neutralization
Abstract
A structural glycoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus was obtained in pure form by immunoaffinity chromatography using a monoclonal antibody with high neutralizing activity. It blocked neutralization of viral infectivity by antibody and in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it migrated with an apparent molecular weight of 44 X 10(3). We conclude that the isolated material is identical with the previously described gp44 (GP-1).
