Infectious process of the parvovirus H-1: correlation of protein content, particle density, and viral infectivity

Abstract: The infectious particles of the parvovirus H-1 were characterized with respect to protein content, density in CsCl, and specific infectivity. Heavy-full and lightfull particles were purified from infected simian virus 40-transformed newborn human kidney (NB) cells and from simian virus 40-transformed hamster kidney (THK) cells. Analysis of the protein content of these particles demonstrated that the ratio of viral protein VP2' to VP2 was the same in heavy-full and light-full 800 on July 7, 2020 by guest

“…The spatial orientation of the amino terminus of VP2 in recombinant capsids expressed in the baculovirus system (12,33) is still to be investigated. Also, there is evidence that for VP2 to be infective, about 20 amino acids have to be cleaved away from the amino terminus of VP2, resulting in the capsid protein VP3 (7,8,17). The effect of neutralizing antibodies which bind to the amino terminus of VP2 of CPV could very well be hindrance of a proteolytic cleavage that unmasks a viral domain essential for infection.…”

“…The virus was prepared according to the procedure of Paradiso (1981) and modified as in Luo, Tsao, Rossmann, Basak & Compans (1988) and Tsao et al (1991). Solution scattering patterns were collected by methods similar to those used by Schmidt, Johnson & Phillips (1983), except that the sample concentration was about 10 mg m1-1 rather than 150 mg m1-1 because of the difficulty of propagating sufficient virus in mammalian cell lines.…”

“…CPV was propagated in canine fibroma cell line A72 (6) and grown (for 72 h at 37°C in 5% CO 2 ) in Dulbecco's mod-ified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Gibco, Paisley, United Kingdom). CPV was purified according a modification of the procedure of Paradiso (28,29). The ratio of infectious to empty viral particles was estimated to be 40:60 from the sedimentation profile of hemagglutinating CPV in CsCl gradients (1).…”
