N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the transmembrane protein of baboon endogenous virus revealed an internal 13 residue identity with the transmembrane homolog of murine leukemia virus. A tridecapeptide Glu-Val-Val-Leu-Gln-Asn-Arg-Arg-Gly-Leu-Asp-Leu-Leu corresponding to this region was chemically synthesized and antibody to the peptide was raised in rabbits. The rabbit antisera recognized the protein in Western blots. The specificity of the antisera was tested against a panel of retroviruses. Transmembrane proteins of type C retroviruses as well as type D were identified.
狒狒内源性病毒跨膜蛋白的N端氨基酸序列分析显示，其与鼠白血病病毒的跨膜同源物有13个内部残基相同。化学合成了对应于该区域的十三肽Glu-Val-Val-Leu-Gln-Asn-Arg-Arg-Gly-Leu-Asp-Leu-Leu，并在兔中制备了针对该肽的抗体。兔抗血清在蛋白质印迹中识别该蛋白。针对一组逆转录病毒测试了抗血清的特异性。鉴定了C型逆转录病毒以及D型的跨膜蛋白。
