RESUMO
Infection of the bursa of Fabricius and chicken embryo fibroblast cell cultures with avian infectious bursal disease virus resulted in production of a number of virus-induced antigens. The antigens were specific, forming three precipitin lines by immunodiffusion with antiserum (designated PA-1, -2, and -3). To separate immunoprecipitin from the remaining viral particles, two (PA-1 and PA-3) were partially purified by subjection to two cycles of diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography and filtration through a column of Sephadex G-150 gel. The precipitating antigen, PA-1, was found to migrate most slowly through the agar gel, remaining serologically active after treatment with heating (56 C for 1 h), trypsin, lipolytic solvents, deoxyribonuclease, and ribonuclease. Its density was 1.27 g/ml. Morphologically the antigen displayed a doughnut-shaped structure 8 to 12 nm in size. PA-3 migrated most rapidly through the agar gel. It was destroyed by treatment with heating and trypsin but not with lipolytic solvents, deoxyribonuclease, and ribonuclease. Density was about 1.25 g/ml. This suggests that the antigen is a part of viral structural components. PA-2 migrated through agar gel at a rate between that of PA-1 and PA-3. Because of its low concentration, PA-2 was not further characterized.
