VP1, the Putative RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus, Forms Complexes with the Capsid Protein VP3, Leading to Efficient Encapsidation into Virus-Like Particles

Abstract excerpt

A cDNA corresponding to the coding region of VP1, the putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was cloned and inserted into the genome of a vaccinia virus inducible expression vector. The molecular mass and antigenic reactivity of VP1 expressed in mammalian cells are identical to those of its counterpart expressed in IBDV-infected cells. The results presented here...
