Expression and Disappearance of Viral Structural Proteins from Neurons JF Journal of General Virology, VO 68 IS 6 SP 1755 OP 1759 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-68-6-1755 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB Summary Cultured spinal ganglia and cord from mice and hamsters were infected with mumps virus or Sendai virus. Expression of five structural proteins, the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase, fusion, nucleocapsid (NP), phospho (P) and matrix proteins was examined with monoclonal antibodies to each protein. In Sendai virus-infected mouse neurons all five viral proteins were detected. In hamster neurons infected with mumps virus all viral proteins were also expressed, but in mouse neurons only the NP and P proteins were seen. This suggests a species-specific cellular restriction of viral protein synthesis in mumps virus-infected mouse neurons. There was no, or only a slight, reduction in the number of neurons between days 4 and 20 after infection of mouse cultures with mumps virus, but the proportion of infected neurons diminished from 68% to 15% during this time., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-68-6-1755
