Specificity analysis of purified BIV p26 and tTM fusion
proteins expressed in Sf9 cells from recombinant baculoviruses. A total
of 200 ng of purified tTM (lanes 1) and p26 (lanes 2) recombinant
fusion proteins was electrophoresed, transblotted to nitrocellulose
membranes, and exposed to a 1:100 dilution of horse sera positive (A1)
or negative (A2) for EIAV antibodies, to a 1:100 dilution of rabbit
sera positive for BSV (B1) or BIV (B2) antibodies, and to a 1:50
dilution of bovine sera positive for BSV (C1), BLV (C2), or BIV (C3)
antibodies. Lane M, molecular mass standards.
