R Laine, H Söderlund, O Renkonen
Intervirology, 1973•karger.comAbstract Chemical analysis of Semliki Forest virus grown in BHK21 cells revealed 6.3%
RNA, 12.2% nucleocapsid protein, 44.4% envelope polypeptides, 30.8% lipid and 6.3%
proteinbound carbohydrate. The monosaccharides found in the virus include N-acetyl-
glucosamine, N-acetyl-galactosamine, mannose, galactose, glucose, fucose and sialic acid.
Analyses of the individual monosaccharides are presented. The number of molecules of
each of the major constituents in an average virion was calculated.

Abstract
Chemical analysis of Semliki Forest virus grown in BHK21 cells revealed 6.3 % RNA, 12.2 % nucleocapsid protein, 44.4 % envelope polypeptides, 30.8 % lipid and 6.3 % proteinbound carbohydrate. The monosaccharides found in the virus include N-acetyl-glucosamine, N-acetyl-galactosamine, mannose, galactose, glucose, fucose and sialic acid. Analyses of the individual monosaccharides are presented. The number of molecules of each of the major constituents in an average virion was calculated.
