RESUMO
To dissect mechanisms of caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus-induced arthritis, an undefined immunodominant viral glycoprotein, gp90 (G. C. Johnson, A. F. Barbet, P. Klevjer-Anderson, and T. C. McGuire, Infect. Immun. 41:657-665, 1983), was characterized. Monoclonal antibody to gp90 and specific antiserum to env gene products demonstrated that gp90 was a transmembrane protein (TM) dimer. Goats with progressive arthritis had high antibody titers to oligomeric and monomeric (38-kDa) TM.
