Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient recovery of infectious vesicular stomatitis virus entirely from cDNA clones
TL;DR: Infectious vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the prototypic nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus, was recovered from a full-length cDNA clone of the viral genome, rendering the biology of VSV fully accessible to genetic manipulation of theiral genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleotide sequence of the G protein gene of human respiratory syncytial virus reveals an unusual type of viral membrane protein
TL;DR: The major surface glycoprotein (G) of human respiratory syncytial (RS) virus has an estimated mature Mr of 84,000-90,000 and among a library of cDNA clones prepared from RS virus mRNAs, clones that hybridized to a message that encoded a Mr 36,000 polypeptide that was specifically immunoprecipitated with anti-G antiserum were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Nucleoprotein-RNA Complex
TL;DR: A 2.9 angstrom structure of a complex containing 10 molecules of the N protein and 90 bases of RNA is determined, which serves to protect the RNA in the absence of polynucleotide synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious defective interfering particles of VSV from transcripts of a cDNA clone
TL;DR: The generation of infectious defective interfering particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) entirely from cDNA clones is reported and was assayed by direct biochemical means.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the fusion (F) glycoprotein of human respiratory syncytial virus
TL;DR: The nucleotide and amino acid sequences described further define the relationship between RS virus and other paramyxoviruses and are candidates to be signals for viral transcription.
