SUMMARYPurified Semliki Forest virus was analysed by analytical sedimentation, rate zonal sedimentation, isopycnic sedimentation, polyaerylamide gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy. It was found that the spherical virus particles had a sedimentation coefficient of 241 S (249 S determined by rate zonal sedimentation), and a buoyant density in sucrose of I.I 90 g/ml; one protein and one glycoprotein were present in the virus; after fixation and negative staining with phosphotungstic acid the diameter of the particles was measured to be 50 to 56 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
