Key result
The products of EAV open reading frame 3 and ORF4 (GP3 and GP4) were identified as minor structural glycoproteins that localize in the endoplasmic reticulum and are incorporated into virions.
The study identifies GP3 and GP4 as two new minor structural glycoproteins of the Equine Arteritis Virus, bringing the total number of known EAV envelope proteins to six.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical implications; extends EAV envelope proteins to six in this animal model.
Wieringa et al. (2002) studied Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV). Viral protein characterization was evaluated. The products of EAV open reading frame 3 and ORF4 (GP3 and GP4) were identified as minor structural glycoproteins that localize in the endoplasmic reticulum and are incorporated into virions.
