Molecular cloning of the genome of human spumaretrovirus.
DNA of human spumaretrovirus (HSRV) was cloned from both cDNA and from viral DNA into phage lambda and bacterial plasmid vectors. The recombinant plasmids harboring viral DNA were characterized by Southern blot hybridization and restriction mapping. Physical maps were constructed from cDNA and found to be colinear with the restriction maps obtained from viral DNA. The recombinant clones isolated contained viral DNA inserts which range in size from 2.2 kb to 15.4 kb. The recombinant clones allowed to construct a physical map of the complete HSRV provirus of 12.2 kb.
