title: Carbohydrate composition of vesicular stomatitis virus.
abstract: Analysis by gas-liquid chromatography of the trimethylsilylated sugar residues of purified vesicular stomatitis virus grown in L cells or chick embryo cells revealed the presence in the whole virion of four hexoses (glucose, galactose, mannose, and fucose), two hexosamines (glucosamine and galactosamine), and 34 to 40% neuraminic acid. The isolated viral glycoprotein was devoid of galactosamine and fucose, both of which sugars were present in whole virions presumably as part of the membrane glycolipids.
