Abstract
This paper describes properties of an isolate of tobacco necrosis virus (TNV-B2) from plum (Prunus domestica cv.
Bystrická). The virus in sap of Chenopodium quinoa had a dilution end point of 10-8, a thermal inactivation point of 85°C, and longevity in vitro at room temperature of 8 weeks.
Virus purified by differential centrifugation contained 19.5–20.0% RNA and had an absorption spectrum with a maximum at 260 nm and minimum at 240 nm.
The ratio of virus absorption at 260/280 nm was 1.5. A specific antiserum was prepared which reached a titer of 1 : 256 in double agar gel diffusion tests and 1 : 512 in drop precipitation tests.
Purified preparations contained isometric particles of 28–30 nm diameter.
The purified preparations reacted similarly with homologous antiserum and with antiserum to TNV-RV.
