Cutaneous Manifestations in HTLV-I Positive Blood Donors

Analysis of polyoma virus nuclear RNA by mini-blot hybridization.

The size and sequence composition of virus-specific RNA extracted from the nuclei of mouse cells late during polyoma virus productive infection were studied by blot-hybridization analysis of 32P-labeled RNA fractionated on CH3HgOH/agarose gels. Viral RNA molecules between approximately 0.4 and 4 times the length of a complete transcript of the 5.4-kilobase circular viral DNA were found. Less th...
