“…Choppin & Compans, 1970;Z/tvada, 1972a;Z~ivada & Rosenbergov/t, t968), virus mutants with temperature-sensitive (ts) or thermolabile (tO defects in the surface gp (Breitman & Prevec, 1977;Weiss & Bennett, 1980;Z~vada, 1972a, b;Z~vada & Z~vodsk~i, 1973), polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) analysis of isotopically labelled virus (McSharry et al, 1971) or ferritin-labelled antibodies in conjunction with electron microscopy (Chan et al, 1978;Choppin & Compans, 1970). However, in the example of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotypes with avian tumour virus, the retrovirus spikes can be seen by electron microscopy even without the aid of tagged antibodies (Ogura & Bauer, 1976). In another instance, a haemagglutination-inhibition test was employed (Granoff & Hirst, 1954).…”
