A panel of monoclonal antibodies to the bovine leukemia virus envelope glycoprotein (BLV gp51) has previously demonstrated the association of the biological activities of the virus (infectivity, syncytia induction) with three out of eight epitopes of gp51. In BLV-infected cells, the unglycosylated homolog of the precursor to the BLV envelope glycoproteins (gPr72env) is a 47,000-MW polypeptide. Immunoprecipitation studies with monoclonal antibodies show that the neutralizing antibody-inducing sites, although present in gPr72env, are not conserved in the 47,000-MW unglycosylated homolog. Finally, it is demonstrated that the neutralizing antibody-inducing sites of gp51 are subject to antigenic variation among BLV isolates of the same or different geographical origins.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
