Characterization of a highly transcribed DNA region of herpesvirus of turkeys.
A highly transcribed DNA region of turkey herpesvirus (HVT) codes for multiple species of RNA. Although the RNA is transcribed from both strands of DNA, no overlapping complementary transcripts have been detected. The complete nucleotide sequence corresponding to the cDNA of one of the HVT transcripts was determined. This sequence is highly homologous to the nucleotide sequence of Marek's disease virus antigen gp57-65-coding gene and appears to represent the corresponding HVT-coding gene.
