Efective vaccination of cattle using the virion G protein of bovine ephemeral fever virus as an antigen. |
The virion reproduces itself as from its genetic material only by replicating its genome. |
Glycoprotein allows the virion to attach to a receptor on the host cell surface and thereby fuse with the host cell membrane, leading to infection. |
We examined the efficiency of plaquing and phage virion integrity, as determined by in vitro assembly, immunological detection and electron microscopy. |
The virus itself is a spherical enveloped virion, between 80 and 160 nm diameter, and has single stranded RNA of about 30 kilobases, the largest genome of all ssRNA viruses. |
The virion of MuLV classifies it as a C-type virus, which assembles at the surface of infected cells, and acquires a plasma membrane envelope as it buds from a cell. |
