RESUMO
Sendai virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) glycoproteins, F and HN, were separated from Triton X-100- or Nonidet P-40-solubilized envelopes as unadsorbed and eluted fractions, respectively, by using glutaralde-hyde-treated chicken erythrocytes. These separated glycoproteins were biologically active. Monospecific antisera (in terms of monoreactivity to virus glycoproteins in gel diffusion precipitation patterns) were prepared by using these fractions as immunogens. Anti-HN rabbit serum inhibited all of the viral activities tested (infectivity, neuraminidase, hemagglutinating, and viral hemolysis), whereas anti-F serum definitely inhibited viral hemolysis only, although the two antisera enhanced neutralization in the presence of complement. The advantages and disadvantages of this separation method were discussed.
