SUMMARYA Yucaipa-like virus (PLOC/Senegal/273/77) was grown in embryonated chicken eggs and used for biochemical investigations after purification. The genome of the virus is composed of one fragment of single-stranded (ss)RNA with an estimated mol. wt. of 5"6 x io s. There are six virus structural polypeptides with mol. wt. of I26OOO, 68ooo (major), 60000, 52ooo (major), 44ooo and 39ooo (major). The fatty acid composition of the virus envelope seems to be very selective since we found only fatty acids containing I4 and I6 carbon atoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
