The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) homologue of the conserved herpesvirus glycoprotein gN is predicted to be encoded by the BLRF1 open reading frame (ORF). Antipeptide antibodies against a sequence corresponding to residues in the predicted BLRF1 ORF immunoprecipitated an approximately 8 kDa doublet from cells expressing the BLRF1 ORF as a recombinant protein. In addition, four glycosylated proteins of 113, 84, 48, and 15 kDa from virus-producing cells could be immunoprecipitated by the same antibody. The 15 kDa species was the … Continue reading „EBV-Glykoprotein 125“
