title: Borna disease virus-specific antigens. II. The soluble antigen is a protein complex.
abstract: Borna disease virus-specific soluble antigen from persistently infected rat brains was purified to homogeneity using preparative sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The soluble antigen is a complex of three proteins with apparent molecular weights of 35 kDa, 38 kDa and 24 kDa. The 35/38 kDa antigen double band was separated into its two components. The 24 kDa protein has no common epitopes with the 35/38 kDa protein.
