Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
EN
Rift Valley Fever Virus glycoproteins Gn and Gc are the major structural antigens found on the virion particle. Together the two proteins are present as heterodimers and form the icosahedral shell of the virion. In vitro Gn and Gc form virus-like particles and can induce immunity in animals. Baculovirus expression systems expressing only Gc results in highly pleiomorphic virus-like particles. Thus, for homogeneous virus particle surfaces, heterodimer expression (Gn) is required.
