Abstract
Abstract Since antisera specific for the viral antigen(s) of BAI strain A virus are now available, a study was made of some biological and physical properties of products obtained by Tween-ether and sodium lauryl sulfate degradation of the virus. The antigenically active material derived by Tween-ether treatment was associated with a component having a sedimentation constant of about 3 S and a density in CsCl gradients of 1.06. Sodium lauryl sulfate treatments led to a material with a similar sedimentation constant, but in CsCl gradients it could be separated into two components, one with a density of 1.26 and the other 1.33. The latter two components were also found to differ in their antigenic specificities.
