The polypeptide composition of the lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) of turkeys was shown to comprise several polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 76, 31, 28, 20 and 15 kDa. This polypeptide pattern is distinctly different from the protein profiles of avian leukosis viruses, reticuloendotheliosis virus, or murine leukemia viruses. Moreover, LPD virions contain 2 major structural proteins (p31 and p28), in contrast to only one major internal protein present in most other retroviruses. The 76 kDa protein was established as the major viral envelope glycoprotein. The uniqueness of the LPDV polypeptide pattern is consistent with the lack of genetic relatedness of LPDV genome to other retroviruses, establishing LPDV as a representative of a distinct group of retroviridae.
火鸡淋巴细胞增生性疾病病毒（LPDV）的多肽组成显示，它包含几种表观分子量分别为76、31、28、20和15 kDa的多肽。这种多肽模式与禽白血病病毒、网状内皮组织增殖症病毒或鼠白血病病毒的蛋白质谱明显不同。此外，与大多数其他逆转录病毒仅含有一种主要内部蛋白不同，LPD病毒粒子含有2种主要结构蛋白（p31和p28）。76 kDa蛋白被确定为主要的病毒包膜糖蛋白。LPDV多肽模式的独特性与LPDV基因组与其他逆转录病毒缺乏遗传相关性一致，这确立了LPDV作为逆转录病毒科一个独特组群的代表。
