Glycosphingolipids of Plasma Membranes of Cultured Cells and an Enveloped Virus (SV5) Grown in These Cells
TLDR
Glycosphingolipids of rhesus monkey kidney, bovine kidney, and two lines of hamster kidney cells have been compared with those of parainfluenza virions, but neither gangliosides nor protein-bound neuraminic acid are found in virions.Abstract:
Glycosphingolipids of rhesus monkey kidney (MK), bovine kidney (MDBK), and two lines of hamster kidney (BHK21-F and Hak) cells have been compared with those of parainfluenza (SV5) virions grow in these cells. There are qualitative and quantitative differences in the neutral glycolipids and gangliosides found in the various cells. Cells with a high neutral glycolipid content (MK and MDBK) contain little or no gangliosides, and those with a relatively high ganglioside content (BHK21-F and HaK) contain little neutral glycolipid. Glycosphingolipids are found predominantly in the plasma membranes. Neutral glycolipids of the host cell membrane are incorporated into the envelope of SV5 virions, but neither gangliosides nor protein-bound neuraminic acid are found in virions. The absence of neuraminic acid from the virion may be due to the action of viral neuraminidase.read more

Glycosphingolipids in Cellular Interaction, Differentiation, and Oncogenesis
TL;DR: The majority of neutral glycolipids present in plasma membranes are cryptic, and further extensive studies of the organization of glycolIPid in other eukaryotic cell membranes are necessary.

Identification of biological activities of paramyxovirus glycoproteins. Activation of cell fusion, hemolysis, and infectivity of proteolytic cleavage of an inactive precursor protein of Sendai virus.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the small glycoprotein of paramyxoviruses is biologically active and is involved in virus-induced hemolysis, cell fusion, and the initiation of infection, and provides a biochemical basis for previously observed host-dependent variation in infectivity, and in hemolyzing and cell-fusion induced by paramyxviruses.

Characterization of temperature sensitive influenza virus mutants defective in neuraminidase.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the lack of hemagglutinating activity of mutant virus grown at 39.5° is a consequence of the formation of aggregates of virus particles carrying neuraminic acid on their surface, and that the ts defect is in the neuraminidase but not the hemagGLutinin molecule.
