WMV-1 and WMV-2 Defined Antisera specific for the cylindrical inclusions of WMV-M, WMV-1, and WMV-2 in SDS immunodiffusion cests with sap and purified inclusions were obtained. Antisera to WMV-2 inclusions reacted heterologously with BCMV, dasheen mosaic virus (DMV) , soybean mosaic virus (SoyMV) and lettuce mosaic virus (LMV). WMV-M inclusion antiserum reacted heterologously with WMV-1, WMV-2, DMV, and PRSV and with some isolates of LMV. The WMV-1 inclusion antiserum did not react with either WMV-M or WMV-2 inclusions. Analysis of peptide fragments after cleavage of capsid proteins with cyanogen bromide (CNBr) showed distinct patterns for WMV-1, WMV-2, and WMV-M. Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease digests of the cylindrical inclusions of WMV-1, WMV-2, and WMV-M were analyzed by disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. While there were some similarities between patterns, significant differences existed. This study provides additional evidence that WMV-1 and WMV-2 are distinct viruses on the basis of inclusion serology and analysis of the peptides formed by partial cleavage of capsid and cylindrical inclusion proteins. Evidence is also provided that WMV-M is a distinct virus.
