An inhibitory analysis of the role of glycosylation and glycoproteins in the manifestations of the most important properties of African swine virus was carried out using a set of strains and variants with contrasting characteristics. Glycoproteins were shown to realize some virus functions such as virulence and its variability, intracellular transport and exocytosis of virions, hemadsorption, but not immunological recognition of the infected cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
