The alterations of 24 investigated proteins demonstrated by immunoelectrophoresis show anodic shifts of bands and their disappearance (Table 1, Fig. 1–15). The shifted proteins are not degraded significantly. Their altered electrophoretic mobility may be due to a change of electrical charge by loss of one or a few end standing amino acids. The disappearance of bands in the immunoelectrophoretic assay and the simultaneous diminution of the protein concentration measured by the method of immunodiffusion suggests a proteolysis (Table 2).

Quantities of both penetrated and eluted viruses depended on the quantitiy of the attached virus. The dependence of the quantity of the penetrated virus on the quantity of the attached virus was linear, while there was an accelerating increase of the quantity of the eluted virus depending on the quantity of the attached virus. This non-linearity is described by a mathematical model based on cooperativity effects which are caused by a certain interaction between the attached virions. Since, according to the calculations, this interaction is effective at the distance equal to about 15-fold virion diameter, a kind of “at distance” interaction between the adjacent virions realized through spreading modifications of plasma membrane is suggested.</p></div><div><p>Nach Virusanheftung an die Zelloberfläche bei 4°C mit nachfolgender Inkubation der virusbeladenen Zellen bei 37°C laufen zwei Prozesse gleichzeitig ab: ein Teil der angehefteten Virionen dringt in die Zellen ein, und ein anderer wird außerhalb der Zellen eluiert (ein bestimmter Teil bleibt für eine gewisse Zeit an der Zelloberfläche gebunden).
