Human rhinovirus protein synthesis and polyprotein cleavage in infected HeLa-RH cells. Brief report.

Precursor and mature polypeptides of four human rhinovirus types (HRV 30, 63, 81 and 88) were compared. The SDS-PAGE profiles of the HRV-specific polypeptides differed significantly from each other, as well as from those of the HRV types studied previously (HRV 1A, 2 and 14). Our results provide further evidence for considerable heterogeneity within the rhinovirus genus.
