Abstract

Sedimentation analysis of mRNA from RSV-infected chick cells suggests that Pr76, the precursor to the virus structural proteins, is synthesised on a mRNA of similar size to virion RNA, whereas a protein with molecular weight 70,000 tentatively identified as the non-glycosylated precursor to the viral glycoprotein, gp85, is synthesised on a smaller size class of mRNA.
