The major polypeptides of the murine-mammary-tumor virus isolated by plant-lectin affinity chromatography

article
Solubilized polypeptides of the murine mammary tumor virus (MuMT virus) were chromatographed on a column of immobilised concanavalin A. The unbound viral material was rechromatographed on phosphocellulose, resulting in the isolation of the major proteins with a molecular weight of 28000 (p28) and 12000 (p12) respectively. The adsorbed glycopolypeptides after elution with methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside were subjected to gel filtration. The major glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 52000 (gp52) was obtained in an almost pure form. However, a considerable part of gp52 elutes together with a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 36000 (gp36), suggesting that in addition to the free form of gp52 a complex exists of gp52 plus gp36.
