Abstract excerpt

The surface protein S of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) has a sialic acid binding activity that enables the virus to agglutinate erythrocytes. A protocol is described that has been successfully applied to the isolation of hemgglutination-defective mutants. The potential of these mutan...
