Processing of envelope polypeptides of herpes simplex virus type 1. Demonstration of variation in different cell lines by high-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoprecipitation.
[35S]Methionine-labelled envelope polypeptides of herpes simplex virus type 1, strain F, propagated in mammalian cell culture of various origins, were separated by ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography on a TSK DEAE-3SW column. Analysis of the fractions by radioimmunoprecipitation followed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitates showed similarities as well as distinct differences in the number, migration patterns and molecular mass of the synthesized polypeptides, depending on the host cell. The results show that this method can be used to demonstrate species-specific or organ-specific differences in the processing of virus-specified polypeptides synthesized in host cells.
