title: Immunological detection of cauliflower mosaic virus gene V protein produced in engineered bacteria or infected plants.
abstract: Antiserum was prepared against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 25 amino acids (aa) of the protein encoded by cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) gene V, which is thought to be a reverse transcriptase involved in viral DNA replication. This antiserum was used to detect the expression of CaMV gene V either in Escherichia coli JM103 transformed by an expression vector containing CaMV gene V or in CaMV-infected plants. In both cases, an 80-kDal protein has been detected.
