Abstract

From the same batch of virus, the four major avian viral structural proteins p27, p19, p15, and p12, the reverse transcriptase, the envelope glycoprotein gp85, and the high molecular weight 70 S RNA have been recovered. All proteins, except for gp85, have been purified by use of column chromatography procedures to apparent homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and isoelectric focusing. A new isolation procedure for p12 by affinity column chromatography takes advantage of its nucleic acid binding properties. The recovery of nondenatured viral structural proteins is demonstrated by the proteolytic activity revealed by p15. The purified proteins were used for the production of monospecific antibodies. The 70 S RNA served as source for the isolation of 35 S RNA subunits.
