A strain of Aleutian disease virus adapted to growth in Crandall feline kidney cells at 31.8.degree. C was characterized. When purified from infected cells, Aleutian disease virus had a density in CsCl of 1.42-1.44 g/ml and was 24-26 nm in diameter. [3H]thymidine could be incorporated into the viral genome and the viral DNA was then studied. In alkaline sucrose gradients, Aleutian disease virus DNA was a single species that cosedimented at 15.5S with single-stranded DNA from adeno-associated virus. When the DNA was analyzed on neutral sucrose gradients, a single species was again observed which sedimented at 21S and was clearly distinct from 16S duplex adeno-associated virus DNA. A similar result was obtained even after incubation under annealing conditions, implying that the bulk of Aleutian disease virus virions contained a single non-complementary strand with a MW of about 1.4 .times. 106. Two major virus-associated polypeptides with MW of 89,100 and 77,600 were demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of virus purified from infected cultures labeled with [35S]methionine. Aleutian disease virus is apparently a nondefective parvovirus.
