Poliovirus and Mengo virus RNA were shown to associate efficiently with cowpea chlorotic mottle virus protein to form pseudovirions. The sedimentation coefficient for the pseudovirions was similar to that of poliovirus, and electron microscope observations showed the Mengo pseudovirions to be similar in size to Mengo virus. Such pseudovirions were infectious and were more resistant to ribonuclease than viral RNA; however, under our assay conditions, their infectivity was about equal to that of viral RNA.
脊髓灰质炎病毒和门戈病毒的RNA能有效地与豇豆褪绿斑驳病毒蛋白结合，形成假病毒颗粒。假病毒颗粒的沉降系数与脊髓灰质炎病毒相似，电子显微镜观察显示门戈假病毒颗粒的大小与门戈病毒相似。这种假病毒颗粒具有感染性，并且比病毒RNA对核糖核酸酶更具抗性；然而，在我们的检测条件下，它们的感染性与病毒RNA大致相当。
