The characteristics of a reovirus (CRV) recently isolated from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were examined following purification of virions from infected cell cultures. Virions had double capsids, the inner and outer with diameters of 55 nm and 75 nm respectively. Complete virions had a density of 1.36 g/ml in CsCl gradients and contained seven polypeptides of 132 000, 130 000, 110 000, 68 000, 56 000, 43 000 and 32 000 mol. wt. The nucleic acid labelled with [5-3H]uridine had a density of 1.56 g/ml in Cs2SO4 gradients, which suggested that it is double-stranded RNA. The genome was composed of 11 segments that ranged in mol. wt. from approximately 0.4 X 10(6) to 2.5 X 10(6). Serum cross-neutralization comparisons of CRV to reoviruses isolated from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) indicated that each was distinct although some crossreactions were observed. These viruses seem to represent three serotypes of a new genus within the family Reoviridae.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D012087 Reoviridae A family of unenveloped RNA viruses with cubic symmetry. The twelve genera include ORTHOREOVIRUS; ORBIVIRUS; COLTIVIRUS; ROTAVIRUS; Aquareovirus, Cypovirus, Phytoreovirus, Fijivirus, Seadornavirus, Idnoreovirus, Mycoreovirus, and Oryzavirus.

D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
