Abstract

A purified fraction containing unique membranes entrapping virions was isolated from homogenates of cells infected with the DA strain of Theiler's virus, after high-speed centrifugation through a sucrose gradient. This fraction, sedimented at 45-50% sucrose, was only found in cells infected with the DA strain but not in cells infected with the GDVII strain of Theiler's virus or in mock-infected cells. Immunogold staining of the membranes entrapping virions, using antivirus IgG antibodies, revealed that the membranes entrapping virions did not incorporate viral capsid antigens.
