The composition of structural proteins of lambdoid phages such as lambda, phi 80 434 divided by molecular weights was determined by means of SDS-disc-electrophoresis in a 15% polyacrylamide gel. The proteins of the same phages were divided by isoelectric points using an isoelectric focusing in a 5,25% polyacrylamide gel with 8 M urea and a gradient pH 7.0--3.5. The both methods brought out a composition character of the virion proteins and illustrated the high degree of similarity among the structural proteins of phages lambda and 434 and a far less similarity among the proteins lambda and phi 80. The antigenic composition of the lambdoid phage was determined and the basic antigenes were identified on one-dimensional and two-dimensional immunoelectrophoregrams. The appreciable immunochemical affinity of basic antigenes of the lambda and 434, but a partial affinity of the phages lambda and phi 80 were found. The basic protein of the head pE proved to be immunochemically similar for all three phages.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007122	Immunoelectrophoresis	A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D003090	Coliphages	Viruses whose host is Escherichia coli.	Escherichia coli Phages,Coliphage,Escherichia coli Phage,Phage, Escherichia coli,Phages, Escherichia coli
D004591	Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel	Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium.	Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGE,Gel Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide,SDS PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGEs
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
