A cDNA copy of RNA segment 4 of influenza C/Cal/78 virus was cloned into an SV40 vector and expressed in CV-1 cells. The gene product expressed from the SV40 recombinant virus was immunoprecipitated by monoclonal antibodies directed against the influenza C virus glycoprotein. Cells infected with the recombinant virus also exhibited C virus-specific hemagglutinin and O-acetylesterase activity. This suggests that the same C virus protein is associated with receptor-binding as well as receptor-destroying activity. The latter viral activity was measured using as substrates bovine submaxillary mucin or a low molecular weight compound p-nitrophenylacetate. In analogy to the parainfluenza virus HN protein, the influenza C virus glycoprotein was termed HE, because it possesses hemagglutinin and esterase (receptor-destroying) activity.
