Abstract
To study the expression of La Crosse virus (LAC) glycoproteins, G1 and G2, we constructed a cDNA copy of the open reading frame (ORF) of the middle RNA segment and expressed it in a recombinant vaccinia virus (VV.ORF). Cells infected with VV.ORF expressed G1 and G2 at the cell surface and formed syncytia with a pH profile similar to that of LAC. These experiments provide a system of studying the biological functions of the LAC glycoproteins, including processing, targeting, fusion, receptor binding, and antigenicity.Entities:
