TGEV-S parental, mutant, and chimeric proteins were expressed and analyzed by surface biotinylation (A) or Western blot (B). BSR-T7/5 cells were transfected with the pTM1 expression plasmid containing either of the following TGEV-S genes, a, SSS; b, SFF; c, SFS; d, SSF; e, Y1440A; f, E1441A; g, P1442A; h, I1443A; i, E1444A; j, mock-transfected cells. At 24 h post-transfection cells were prepared for surface biotinylation or Western blot.
