Synthesis of viral proteins by the avian myeloblastosis viral core component

Avian Myeloblastosis Viral (AMV) core component was isolated and shown to synthesize AMV proteins in vitro. This reaction was linearly dependent on viral core concentration, proceeded linearly with time, and was inhibited by puromycin and aurintricarboxylic acid. The proteins synthesized in vitro co-electrophoresed and co-chromatographed with known proteins, and were immunoprecipitated by total and monospecific antibodies to known AMV proteins.
