Abstract:
The carboxyl half of the surface envelope protein of HTLV-I contains the major immunodominant and neutralizable domains. Using two affinity chromatography steps and a combination of high salt concentration and non-ionic detergent, we purified this part of the envelope protein from Escherichia coli. Analysis of some immmunological and biological properties of this protein indicated that it was folded in a way that preserved the correct structure of this domain of the HTLV-I envelope protein. It could be utilized in structural studies to further understand the mechanisms of HTLV-I entry and to better define the component(s) of an effective vaccine.

Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
