Induction of antibody against in vitro translation products encoded by varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein genes. 1987

A Vafai, and M Wellish, and Z Wroblewska, and M Cisco, and D Gilden

Antibodies were raised in rabbit against the in vitro translation products encoded by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein genes gpI and gpIV. The antisera neutralized VZV infectivity and specifically identified two late VZV glycoproteins, gpI and gpIV, in VZV-infected cells and in the envelope of VZ virions. Pulse-chase experiments revealed a 55K precursor protein to gpIV (60K) and a 82K precursor protein to gpI (95K). Immunoprecipitation of 32P-labeled VZV-infected cells showed that the precursor-products of gpI are phosphorylated. These results demonstrate that translation products synthesized in vitro can be used to produce antibodies that recognize native viral proteins and therefore facilitate the identification and analysis of viral gene products in the infected cells.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
