Radiolabelled viral proteins were immunoprecipitated from HFV-infected cells by foamy virus antisera of human and non-human primate origin. Precipitated viral proteins were in the range of 3IK to 170K. Labelling of proteins with [I4C]glucosamine or with [35S]methionine in the presence of tunicamycin, as well as endo- β - N -acetylglycosaminidase H and F treatment of [35S]methionine-labelled proteins, revealed three viral glycoproteins of approximately 170K, 130K and 47K, most likely representing the env gene-encoded precursor, the surface glycoprotein and the transmembrane protein of HFV, respectively., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-71-5-1237
