Resumo: Intact RNA molecules in an extended form were extracted from purified CHV virions with a mixture of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and trypsin. Rotary shadowed preparations were examined in the electron microscope. The length distribution of the RNA molecules showed a prominent peak between 2.4 and 2.8 ?, giving a modal length of 2.58 ?. The molecular weight of CHV-RNA was estimated as 2.6×106 daltons.
