Abstract
The major polypeptides of visna viruses and other lentiviruses were isolated and closely related, if not identical, in radioimmunoassays. The lentiviruses form a distinct group of retroviruses unrelated to spumaviruses, mammalian and avian retroviruses that cause tumors and unclassified retroviruses of cattle and horses. Two sera obtained from goats immunized with Mason-Pfizer monkey virus or squirrel monkey virus reacted with visna p[protein]30. Additional data suggest that this reaction represents infection of goats with a lentivirus or a new retrovirus closely related to the lentiviruses.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
