Monoclonal integration of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) proviral DNA into bovine genomes was detected in peripheral blood from two clinical cases of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) without enlargement of superficial lymph nodes. A BLV-specific probe hybridized with 1 to 3 EcoRI and HindIII fragments in these 2 atypical EBL cattle by Southern blotting and hybridization, as well as in 3 typical EBL ...

Seven strains of Oncorhynchus masou virus (OMV) genomes were analyzed with the restriction endonucleases BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII and SmaI. The restriction patterns of OMV strain DNAs were divided into four groups. Restriction profiles of high passage strains (00-7812, 65th passage, and H-83, 60th passage) were different from those of low passage strains (00-7812, 8th passage, and H-83, 6th passag...

The prevalence of resistance to high levels of gentamicin among 182 isolates of Enterococcus faecalis from 2 Iranian hospitals was 42%. Gentamicin resistance was associated with conjugative plasmids (>70 kb) in most strains. Fingerprinting using EcoRI and HindIII showed genetic variation among these plasmids and gave evidence of nosocomial outbreaks and persistence of infection in different war...

The thymidine kinase (ATP:thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.21) gene of vaccinia virus has previously been mapped near the middle of the viral DNA, within the 4.85-kilobase HindIII J fragment, and shown to encode a Mr 19,000 polypeptide [Hruby, D. E. & Ball, L. A. (1982) J. Virol. 43, 403-409]. To locate the gene more precisely and to determine the structure of the basic transcriptional...

The availability of microbiologic methods that detect early replication of cytomegalovirus (CMV) posttransplantation will enhance the process of initiating preemptive antiviral therapy prior to the appearance of CMV disease. Using PCR techniques we sought to determine which region of the CMV genome present in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) or serum provides the highest sensitivity for the d...

Forty-four strains of Vibrio anguillarum serogroup 0 1 isolated from dead or diseased fish from several, mainly European, countries were selected for rRNA gene restriction pattern analysis. With HindIII, 6 different ribotypes were detected of which 1 profile was dominant with respect to geographical distribution as well as fish species. Also with EcoRI, 6 patterns were found; 1 profile was clea...

Name of Marker. Swine PIT-1*2. Source and Description of Clone. Probe used in RFLP analysis was a cDNA fragment encoding the swine PIT-1 POU-domain region (Tuggle et al., 1993). The 311-bp probe was isolated from the vector pCRlOOO using EcoRI and HindIII.
