“…The glycoproteins of bunyaviruses are model Golgi membrane proteins, since the viruses are formed by budding at the smooth membranes of the Golgi complex (Murphy et a/., 1973;Smith and Pifat, 1982) and the viral glycoproteins accumulate in the Golgi complex during virus infection (Chen et al, 1991;Gahmberg et a/., 1986;Kuismanen et a/., 1982Kuismanen et a/., , 1984Madoff and Lenard, 1982) as well as when expressed by recombinant vaccinia viruses (Matsuoka et al, 1988;Pensiero et a/., 1988;Pettersson et al,, 1988;Wasmoen et a/., 1988). Punta Toro virus (PTV) is a member of the phlebovirus genus of the family Bunyaviridae (Bishop et al, 1980).…”
