Proteins of Palyam serogroup viruses
The replication and polypeptide synthesis of Abadina virus, a member of the Palyam serogroup of orbiviruses, was studied. The first virus-specified proteins could be demonstrated 2 to 4 h post-infection (p.i.) by immunoprecipitation. The rate of synthesis increased rapidly until 12 h p.i. after which it remained fairly constant until 18 h p.i.
