[Antigenic differences in the glycoproteins of the Newcastle disease virus]
Abstract:
The two glucoproteins of the Newcastle disease virus - hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and F-protein - were isolated in a pure state from two strains of the virus: the La Sota apathogenic strain and the Roussev strain pathogenic for birds. It was found that the large HN glucoprotein of each of the strains was not identical antigenically with the F-protein. These seemed to be partial antigenic relatedness between the HN of the two strains. On the other hand, the F-proteins of the strains were identical.

Overview
Leaky Scanning
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R stands for...
