Synthesis of the viral glycoprotein of Rous-associated virus-2.

Abstract

The synthesis of the viral glycoprotein of Rous-associated virus-2 was studied in vitro in a cell-free system programmed with viral RNA and supplemented with dog pancreas membranes. The protein synthesized was related structurally and immunologically to those found in Rous-associated virus-2-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts. This work confirms and extends earlier work on the nature and synthesis of viral glycoproteins.
