Abstract

The vesicular stomatitis virus nucleocapsid protein, N, associated specifically with the viral phosphoprotein, NS, in an in vitro system which supported vesicular stomatitis virus RNA replication. Essentially all the N protein was found complexed with NS. In addition, multiple forms of the N-NS complex were detected which differed in their sedimentation properties and ratios of N to NS.
