Genome isomerism in two alphaherpesviruses: Herpesvirus saimiri-1 (Herpesvirus tamarinus) and avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. Brief report.
Genome isomerism of avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILT) and Herpesvirus saimiri-1 (HVS-1) (formerly H. tamarinus) was investigated using restriction endonuclease analysis and scanning densitometry. ILT DNA was found to have 2 isomers with a molecular weight of 109 X 10(6). HVS-1 DNA was found to have four isomers with a molecular weight of 102 X 10(6).
