Abstract

The fatty acid compositions of standard and incomplete influenza virus (von Magnus type) were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Incomplete virus had appreciable increases in short chain fatty acids and in the relative amounts of long chain unsaturated fatty acids. It is suggested that these changes are responsible, in part, for the pleomorphism of incomplete virus and reflect alterations in the amount and/or configuration of envelope proteins.
