Analysis of the 5' long terminal repeat of bovine syncytial virus.
Four molecular clones of the bovine syncytial virus (BSV) were determined to be replication competent by the initiation of cytopathic infections and production of viable virus following transfection of viral DNA into permissive cells. The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) of the infectious clone, BSV-11, was determined and analyzed to identify regions common to retroviral LTRs and elements with the potential for involvement in transcriptional regulation.
