Genetic individuality of intracisternal A-particles of Mus musculus.
The nucleic acid sequence relationship between mouse intracisternal type A-particles and type C and B viruses was examined by reciprocal complementary DNA-RNA hybridization; complementary DNAs prepared from the RNAs of intracisternal A-particles were hybridized with high-molecular-weight RNAs from a variety of murine tumor viruses, and complementary DNAs representing a variety of RNA tumor virus genomes were hybridized with the high-molecular-weight RNAs from A-particles. The criterion for homology between two types of virus was that the heterologous hybridization reaction occurs over the same RNA concentration range as the homologous reacton. The results of these hybridizations indicate that there are no major sequence homologies between the RNA of intracisternal A-particles and the RNA of representative members of type B and C viruses of Mus musculus.
