Recombinant influenza neuraminidase (NA, subtype 2, A/NT/60/68) was produced by recombinant baculovirus-infected insect cells. The recombinant NA retained enzyme activity and was located on the cell surface. Enzyme activity was both cell-associated and in the cell free supernatant; maximal NA activity was found in the supernatant. Recombinant NA was recognised by polyclonal antisera and by three monoclonal antibodies specific for NA (subtype 2). Enzyme activity was also neutralised by polyclonal antisera. Recombinant NA thus retains most of the immunological and activity properties of authentic influenza NA. Immunoprecipitation of [35S]Methionine-labelled cells and supernatant and partial purification of NA indicated that a approximately 50-kDa form of NA was present in the supernatant, whilst the expected size (approximately 67-kDa) was cell-associated. Purified recombinant extracellular virus was also enzymatically active, and contained the 67-kDa NA which was located on the membrane capsule of the virus. This suggests that the virus had acquired the cell-associated form of recombinant NA during the budding process from the cell.

D007313 Insecta Members of the phylum ARTHROPODA composed or organisms characterized by division into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. They are the dominant group of animals on earth with several hundred thousand different kinds. Three orders, HEMIPTERA; DIPTERA; and SIPHONAPTERA; are of medical interest in that they cause disease in humans and animals. (From Borror et al., An Introduction to the Study of Insects, 4th ed, p1). Insects,Insect
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009439 Neuraminidase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-2,3, alpha-2,6-, and alpha-2,8-glycosidic linkages (at a decreasing rate, respectively) of terminal sialic residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, colominic acid, and synthetic substrate.

D016367 Baculoviridae Family of INSECT VIRUSES which contain polyhedron-shaped or ovocylindrical occlusion bodies. The genera include ALPHABACULOVIRUS; GAMMABACULOVIRUS; and DELTABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUSES) and BETABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as GRANULOVIRUSES). Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects and as BIOPESTICIDES for controlling insect populations. Baculovirus,Baculoviruses
