Comparison of the Ribonucleic Acid Subunits of Reovirus, Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus, and Wound Tumor Virus

Abstract
Double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) from intact cytoplasmic polynedrosis virus (CPV) and wound tumor virus (WTV) was analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Using RNA from type 3 reovirus as a standard, it was calculated that CPV-RNA consisted of 9 subunits corresponding to a molecular weight of 12.7 × 106 and WTV-RNA consisted of 12 subunits corresponding to a molecular weight of 15.5 × 106.
