Electrophoretic characterization of proteins and RNA of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) from Euxoa scandens.
A cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) was isolated from Euxoa scandens and propagated in vitro in Lymantria dispar cells. The virions and polyhedra were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polyhedra produced in vivo and in vitro contained six polypeptides with identical relative mobilities while nonoccluded viral particles produced in vivo were composed of four polypeptides. The RNA content of the purified virions extracted from infected midgut was resolved in ten segments with molecular weights similar to that of CPV type 5 RNA.
