The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of Sendai virus has been isolated from virus particles in a biologically active soluble form after removal by proteolytic digestion of the hydrophobic amino-terminal anchor sequence (S. D. Thompson, W. G. Laver, K. G. Murti, A. Portner,J. Virol.62, 4653–4660, 1988). The soluble HN exists as both dimers and tetramers, and crystallization trials with each of these forms have so far yielded amorphous material. Dimers complexed with Fabfragments of a monoclonal antibody formed long needle crystals. So far, these are not suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis but the results suggest that HN molecules from paramyxoviruses, even if not crystallizable, may, when complexed with Fabfragments, in some cases yield crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis.
