title: [Virus-specific proteins and RNA of the virus of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
abstract: Virus-specific proteins G1, G2, and N with molecular weights of 70, 55-57, and 50 kilodaltons, respectively, were detected by radioimmunodiffusion tests in VERO E-6 cells infected with strains of virus of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) isolated in the European USSR from a patient with HFRS, a fatal human case of HFRS (the strains K-27 and P-360) and from a bank vole (strain CG-1820). The sera from human convalescents after HFRS in the European USSR and rat sera prepared with the CG-1820 strain precipitated proteins possessing similar electrophoretic characteristics from a lysate of cells infected with the CG-1820, K-27 and P-360 strains. The sera from human HFRS convalescents in the Far East did not precipitate protein Gl. The viral RNA derived by immunosorption method from intracellular nucleocapsids of CG-1820 strain and strain 4590 (isolated from Ap. Peninsulae in the Far East) contained 3 classes of molecules: L, M, and S. L- and M-RNA of these strains had the same molecular weight (1.62 and 1.38 megadaltons). The molecular weight of S-RNA of the strain 4590 was 0.76 megadalton and that of the CG-1820 strain 0.83 megadalton. It is assumed that there are species differences among the viruses, causative agents of HFRS, circulating in the European and Far East regions of the USSR.
