Potato virus C (PVC), a non-aphid transmissible strain of potato virus Y (PVY), was found to code for a protein (PVC-HC) which is similar in molecular weight and immunological reactivity to the helper component protein of PVY (PVY-HC). PVC-HC, however, was inactive with respect to its ability to...
