Abstract excerpt
Glycans on envelope glycoprotein (Env) of the subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) play an essential role in the virion integrity and infection process. In this study, we found that, among the 13 predicted N-linked glycosylation sites (NGSs) in gp85 of Tibetan chicken strain TBC-J6, N17, and N193/N191 are pivotal for virus replication. Further research illustrated that a mutation at N193 weakened Env-receptor...
