Characterization of a temperature sensitive feline infectious peritonitis coronavirus 1989 .txt text/plain 4008 223 56 The characteristics of a temperature sensitive feline infectious peritonitis virus (TS-FIPV) were examined. Viral structural proteins and RNA were synthesized at 39 °C but some undefined maturational defect prevented the formation of infectious TS-FIPV at its nonpermissive temperature. TS-FIPV proteins in supernatants from cells infected at 31 °C and 39 °C were examined by Western blot. Immune sera from both TS-FIPV vaccinated cats and WT-FIPV challenged cats showed the same differences in the envelope protein of the two viruses as did the monoclonal antibody (data not shown). The culture supernatant from TS-FIPV infected cells was monitored for the appearance of structural proteins at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. All three structural proteins of TS-FIPV were detected in the cells by IFA at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures ( Table 2 ). Surface expression of TS-FIPV and WT-FIPV peplomer and envelope proteins but not nucleocapsid at the optimal temperature for each virus resembles the situation in FIPV-infected macrophage-like cells [8] . ./cache/cord-333403-imx3990a.txt ./txt/cord-333403-imx3990a.txt
