Restriction site mapping of subgenus D adenoviruses, prototypes 42-47, intermediate and atypical strains.
Restriction site maps with the endonucleases BamHI, BgIII, and HindIII were elaborated for 19 adenovirus strains of subgenus D, namely candidates AV42 to 47, 6 intermediate and 7 atypical strains. On the basis of several types mapped by biochemical methods, the physical maps for the 19 strains were constructed by adapting restriction fragments of defined molecular weight to the known maps, as the homology among strains within this subgenus is considerable. Other prototypes mapped by adaptation were also used for reference. The localization of the restriction sites on the genome was analyzed for all mapped types or strains of subgenus D (except AV8). The sites appeared to be randomly distributed; only one site was common to all strains.
