Phenotypic characterization of a vaccinia virus temperature-sensitive complementation group affecting a virion component.

Abstract excerpt
Genetic and biochemical evidence is presented which shows that the product of the vaccinia virus gene 18R is a virion protein. Western blot analysis of virion proteins using anti-18R serum detects a 78,000-Da protein, localized in the virus core. Of five ts mutants which map to gene 18R, two mutants, ts 10 and ts 44, possess thermolabile virions. Temperature shifts performed during single-step growth of ts 44...
