본 연구는 인간면역결핍바이러스의 입자를 비이온성 계면활성제로 처리할 때 바이러스 입자구조에서 분리되어 방출되는 바이러스 구조단백질들의 분포를 sucrose gradient로 분석하여, 바이러스 입자를 구성하는 바이러스 구조단백질과 바이러스입자의 생물리학적 특성을 연구하였다. 바이러스입자들을 0.16% NP40 (Nonidet P-40)으로 처리할 때, 바이러스 capsid 단백질과 바이러스 막 단백질 (membrance protein)들은 다른 바이러스 구성성분들과 잘 분리되었다. 계면활성제처리에서 방출되지 않은 구성 성분들은 matrix 단백질, nucleocapsid 단백질, reverse transcriptase, integrase 및 바이러스 RNA genome로써, 이들은 subviral 구조를 형성한다. 이러한 결과는 상대적으로 다른 바이러스들의 capsid 단백질과 면역 결핍 바이러스의 capsid 단백질 (p24)를 비교할 때, 면역결핍바이러스의 capsid 단백질은 바이러스핵을 형성할 때, capsid 단백질 사이의 결합력이 매우 약한 것으로 추정된다. 또한 바이러스 조절단백질의 하나인 vpr 단백질을 함유하는 바이러스입자를 NP40 처리하여 분석하였을 때, vpr 단백질은 subviral 구조에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.

한국 마늘에 감염되어 있는 주된 바이러스 중의 하나로 알려진 마늘 잠복 바이러스 (GMV)의 분자 구조와 병 발생 메카니즘을 이해하기 위하여, 국부 감염 숙주 식물인 Vicia faba에 연속적으로 감염시킴으로써 마늘 잠복 바이러스를 정제하였고, GMV에 대한 전신 감염성 숙주 식물로 생각되는 leek에서 GLV를 대량으로 증식시켰다. 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 바이러스 입자를 관찰한 결과, 마늘 바이러스들의 입자의 길이는 200-2000 nm의 분포를 보였으나 입자의 대부분은 600-900 nm의 범위 안에 존재하였다. 반면 순수 분리된 GLV 입자는 평균 690 nm의 길이를 보여주었고, 유연한 실 모양이었다. SDS-PAGE 분석으로 혼합 감염된 마늘 잎으로부터 분리된 마늘 바이러스의 구조 단백질은 분자량 24,500-38,000 Da의 분포를 나타내었으나, GLV 껍질 단백질의 분자량은 34,000 Da으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 $CD4^+$ T 세포를 일회성으로 감염시킬 수 있고 $CD4^+$ T 세포에 HIV-1 envelope 유전자를 전달할 수 있는 바이러스 입자를 생산하는 HIV-1 complementation system을 개발하였고 이 system을 이용하여 $CD4^+$ T 세포에 선택적으로 HIV-1 envelope 당단백질을 발현시켰다. 이 system은 Gag/Gag-Pol expressor와 Env expressor로 구성되어있다. Gag/Gag-Pol expressor는 바이러스 입자 생산에 필요한 구조단백질과 기능단백질을 발현시키지만 packaging signal이 결핍되어 바이러스 입자로 유전자가 들어가지 못하도록 제조되었다. Env expressor는 Tat, Rev와 envelope 당단백질을 발현시키고 packaging signal을 갖고 있어 바이러스 입자로 envelope 유전자가 들어가도록 제조되었다. Gag/Gag-Pol expressor로부터 Gag와 Gag-Pol의 발현은 Rev 단백질을 요구하였고 Env expressor로부터 Rev 단백질 이 제공될 때 Gag와 Gag-Pol 단백질은 효율적으로 발현되었다. Gag/Gag-Pol과 Env expressor로 cotransfection된 COS-1 세포에서 $CD4^+$ T 세포를 일회성으로 감염시킬 수 있는 바이러스 입자가 생산되었다. 생산된 바이러스 입자는 $CD4^+$ T 세포에 HIV-1 envelope 유전자를 전달하여 envelope 당단백질을 발현시켰고 복제 가능한 자손 바이러스의 생성을 유도하지 못하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법은 $CD4^+$ T 세포에서 envelope 당단백질의 기능을 분석하고 관심 있는 유전자를 $CD4^+$ T 세포에 전달하는 바이러스 입자의 생산에 이용할 수 있다.

The flacherie (FV) and Ina-flacherie (Ina-FV, named arbitarily) viruses of the silkworm, Bombyx mori was isolated from infectious larvae. Two types of infectious particles were purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Some properties of the purified particles were investigated. Electron micrographs showed that FV and Ina-FV were spherical particles with diameters of 27nm and 20nm, respectively. The sedimentation coefficient of Ina-FV was 80S.

배나무잎 검은점병에 이병된 신고와 지표식물 PS-95의 잎을 전자현미경으로 세포내 미세구조를 검경한 결과 굴곡성 사상형 유사바이러스 입자가 집단으로 존재하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 엽육유세포질에 있는 유사바이러스 입자들의 직경은 12 nm였으나 입자들의 길이는 측정하지 못하였다. 섬유사를 함유하고 있는 소포는 일반적으로 ssRNA genome을 갖는 식물바이러스에 의해 이병된 세포에서 생성된다. 본 연구에서 이 소포들은 tonoplast에 형성되었다. 배나무잎 검정점병의 이병잎을 초본 지표식물에 즙액접종하였으나 어떠한 병징도 나타나지 않았다. 또한 접목접종 전염에 의하여 전염되어 전형적인 검은점이 발병하였다. 발병된 잎에는 유사바이러스 입자가 존재하고 있었다. 이상의 결과 병징, 섬유사를 함유한 소포의 존재, 그리고 접목전염을 기초로하여 볼 때 배나무 검은점병을 일으키는 유사바이러스 입자는 closteroviruses의 하나로 생각된다.

Rice dwarf phytoreovirus (RDV), a member of the family Reoviridae has a genome composed of 12 segmented dsRNAs designated as 51 to 512 with an increasing order of mobility in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). RDV encode 12 structural and non-structural proteins, $P1{\sim}P12$ which are encoded by the $S1{\sim}S12$ segments of the dsRNA genome, respectively. In this experiment, we confirmed in situ localization of RDV particles and P12 in cytoplasm of infected rice plant. We observed specific reaction of the gold particles using virus particle and P12 protein specific antiserum with protein A-gold immunolabelling in electron microscope. It was observed that gold particles specifically react to virus particles in cytoplasm in case using the antiserum for virus particles. In the case of antiserum for P12 protein, gold particles sporadically existing on cytoplasm without existing in organelle of cytoplasm specifically. As this result, RDV P12 protein encoded by S12 located in cytoplasm.

Samples showing yellow mosaic symptom of Lilium spp. with necrotic fleck, stunting, malformation, and colour breaking were collected from lily-growing areas in the southern part of Korea. Two viruses were distinguished under a electron microscope and their host range, serological reaction, stability in sap, type of aphid transmission, and relations with cells and tissues were examined. Broad bean wilt virus (BBWV) was transmitted by sap-inoculation to 23 plant species in 8 families and by the aphid, Myzus persicae. This virus was inactivated after 10 min at 70C, at dilution of $10^{-3}$, and after 6 days at about 20C. Electron microscopic examination of purified preparation showed that the virus is spherical particle of 28nm in diameter. The virus reacted positively with BBWV-antiserum in agar gel diffusion test. In ultrathin sections of BBWV infected tissues, large aggregates or crystalline array of virus particles and vesicular body were found in the cytoplasm, vacuole, and nucleus of mesophyll cells. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was transmitted by sap-inoculation. Electron microscopic examination of its purified preparation showed spherical particles of 30nm in diameter. The virus reacted positively with CMV-Y strain-antiserum in agar gel diffusion test. In ultrathin sections of CMV infected tissues, crystalline array of virus particles were found in the vacuole and a large number 0f virus particles were found in the cytoplasm and the plasmodesmata of mesophyll cells. When each of these viruses was retransmitted to Lilium tigrinum. L. concolor, and L. auratum, BBWV induced slight symtoms and colour breaking, but CMV induced yellowing mosaic or necrotic fleck.

Negatively stained dip preparations from Euonymus showing vein clear symptoms revealed bacilliform particles. The particles tentatively referred to as the Euonymus vein clear virus(EVCV) have a relatively complex structure, measuring 230-280nm in length and 70-80nm in diameter. They have an envelope, 8-10nm thick, provided with evenly spaced beadlike projection about 5-6nm long. The inner tubular core which had no envelope showed helical structures, 200-220nm long, and 50-55nm in diameter. This inner tubular core is interpreted as the virus nucleocapsid. A striking association of virus particles with the nuclei of infected cells was apparent from sections which showed numberous virus particles at the nuclear periphery and in what appeared to be intranuclear virus particle inclusions. Careful examination of these apparent inclusions revealed the presence of the nuclear envelope surrounding them, in addition to cytoplasmic organelles within them. Such profiles were interpreted as having arisen when the sections passed through invaginations of the cytoplasm into the nucleus. In all the sections showing virus particles associated with the nucleus, large number of virus particles were found to be present in expanded areas between the two lamellae of the nuclear envelope. This location is suggested as a possible site of virus assembly. Serveal micrographs of particles found in this location suggested incorporation of the inner lamella of the nuclear envelope into the viral envelope. Various micrographs indicated a possible helical arrangement of certain components present in the virus core.

To investigate the pathway of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus(NPV) of Bombyx mori in early stage infection of 2nd instar larva, the larval tissues were observed under electron microscope at interval of 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after virus inoculation. The results are as follows. 1. The intact and enveloped nucleocapsids released from the polyhedra protein in the gut lumen apparently entered with the microvilli. 2. Virus progenies were observed in columnar cell nuclei 24 hours after inoculation, but polyhedra was not seen. The enveloped virus was observed in some of the intercellular spaces between mid-gut cells. 3. Many enveloped virus particles appeared in the basement membrane. These enveloped virus particles passed the basement membrane and gathered at blood cells in heomocoeal. 4. The NPV muliplicates in nuclei of the blood cells and the tracheal cells normally.

This study was carried out to acquire some basic biochemical informations on the granulosis virus(GV) of Pieris rapae and Pieris brassicae. The capsule protein was composed of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 30,000 dalton for P. rapae GV and 31,000 dalton for P. brassicae GV. The major amino acids of capsule protein were glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lysine. When the capsule protein was partially digested with trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, the digested products of the two viruses showed no difference in electrophoretic mobility. The patterns of the polypeptides of the two virus particle on SOS-polyacrylamide gel showed a little difference in high molecular weight region(over MW 100 kd).
