Characterization of the infectious salmon anemia virus genomic segment that encodes the putative hemagglutinin.
The genomic segment encoding the putative hemagglutinin of infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is described. Expression of the putative hemagglutinin in a salmon cell line demonstrated hemadsorptive properties of the protein for salmon erythrocytes. The polypeptide was recognized by an ISAV-specific monoclonal antibody. Nucleotide sequencing indicated the occurrence of a variable region in the hemagglutinin gene.
