Abstract excerpt
The killer phenotype expressed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 28 differs from that of the more extensively studied K1 and K2 killers with respect to immunity, mode of toxin action and cell wall primary toxin receptor. We previously demonstrated that the M28 and L28 dsRNAs found in strain 28 are present in virus-like particles (VLPs) and that transfection with these VLPs is sufficient to confer the complete...
