Detection of three polypeptides in preparations of bovine viral diarrhoea virus

Abstract: Radiolabelled bovine viral diarrhoea/mucosal disease virus (BVDV) strains NADL and Oregon C24V were purified by different steps. Following immunoprecipitation, electrophoresis in SDS-polyacrylamide gels revealed three BVDV structural polypeptides with molecular weights of 57 (VP1), 44 (VP2), and 34 (VP3) kd. The two larger BVDV polypeptides VP1 and VP2 were found to be glycosylated (gp57, gp44). The data obtained on BVDV structural proteins demonstrate common features with hog cholera virus and indicate a comm… Show more

“…The genome of BVDV has been shown to be single stranded RIgA of positive polarity (6) although its size has been estimated as either 8.2 kb (19) or 12.5 kb (21). There have also been conflicting reports on the number and size of the virion proteins and virus encoded intraeellular polypeptides (4,15,18,20).…”

“…At least three structural proteins are thought to be involved : two envelope glycoproteins with Mr values of 55 000 (55K) and 46000 (46K) and a non-glycosylated core protein with an Mr of 36000 (36K) were identified for HCV (Enzmann & Weiland,t978). Similar proteins have been identified as structural proteins of BVDV (Matthaeus, 1979). The three structural proteins of the pestiviruses have been tentatively named E1 (55K to 57K), E2 (44K to 46K), and C (34K to 36K) (Westaway et al, 1985 a); however, full evidence that these proteins are indeed the two envelope proteins and the one nucleocapsid protein has never been presented.…”

“…Those antibodies only neutralize certain BVD viruses and precipitate a polypeptide of approximately 56 kD (Bolin, in press). There is a general agreement that the 56 kD polypeptide is glycosylated and a component of the viral envelope [5,16,19]. Thus, antiserum from persistently infected cattle detects significant antigenic variation among BVD viruses in epitopes involved with neutralization and, considering the relatively large size of the viral structural protein involved, there is a possibility of several epitopes associated with antibody induced neutralization.…”
