Immunological relatedness of papovaviruses of the simian virus 40-polyoma subgroup.

摘要

Viral antigens in permissive cells infected with JC virus, K virus, and SA12 virus were reactive in immunofluorescence tests to antisera against sodium dodecyl sulfate-disrupted simian virus 40 capsids and polyoma VP1. The major capsid polypeptides of all papovaviruses of the simian virus 40-polyoma subgroup are immunologically related.
