| Abstract: | Viral glycoproteins from herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) infected NBL-1, Vero, and BHK-21 cells were labelled with 14C-glucosamine and studied by SDS-PAGE and Con-A chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated differences in the number and molecular weight of glycoproteins from these cells. Con-A chromatography resulted in similar binding of glycoproteins from NBL-1 and Vero cells of 10.5 and 18.6%, respectively, whereas BHK-21 cells showed binding of 65%. These studies indicate that HSV-1 glycoprotein oligosaccharide processing is variable in kidney cells of different species. |
