title: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the Kemerovo virus RNA.
abstract: Ribonuclease (RNase)-resistant RNA was isolated from partially purified Kemerovo virus by gel chromatography and or sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Double-stranded (ds) RNA only was found in the purified viral cores. The RNAs from both sources exhibited the same pattern of distribution in polyacrylamide gels. Ten dsRNA segments were identified. According to the results of coelectrophoresis of the Kemerovo virus and reovirus dsRNAs, the size of Kemerovo virus genome was estimated to be of about 11.7 X 10(6). The grouping of Kemerovo virus double-stranded segments according to their size in polyacrylamide gels corresponded to the 2:4:3:1 pattern.
