RESUMO
The major non-glycosylated structural proteins of feline leukemia virus have been isolated, and competition immunoassays have been developed for each. These proteins include the 27,000- to 30,000-molecular-weight major internal antigen designated p30, a 15,000-molecular-weight protein (p15), an acidic protein of 12,000 molecular weight (p12), and a highly basic 10,000-molecular-weight protein (p10). Immunologically and biochemically corresponding proteins of feline and murine leukemia viruses have been identified. and, on the basis of analogy to the known sequence of a prototype type C virus of mouse origin, the map order of the gag region of the feline type C viral genome has been tentatively deduced as NH2-p15-p12-p10-COOH. The demonstration of two feline leukemia virus gag gene-coded proteins, p15 and p12, expressed in the form of an uncleaved precursor in a mink cell line nonproductively transformed by feline sarcoma virus provides indirect support for the proposed sequence.
