Four strains of influenza C virus were studied by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. All of them were found to contain super-capsid proteins destroyed by electrophoresis apparently due to contact with sodium dodecylsulphate. According to Laver's classification, influenza C viruses may be placed with Group 3 viruses. Among major virion proteins of influenza C viruses matrix protein was found to be the most stable forming a separate protein band on cellulose acetate, and it may be readily identified and eluted from paper in preparative amounts.
