Analysis of pseudorabies virus genes by cDNA sequencing.
Cloning and sequencing of cDNA could provide a complementary approach to functional analysis of the pseudorabies virus (PrV) genome. Using colony hybridization, Southern hybridization, and DNA sequencing, four species of PrV-specific cDNA were identified. Among these four species of PrV-specific cDNA, three unidentified genes, UL26, UL29, and UL31, were mapped and a novel gI-11K bicistronic cDNA was confirmed. Thus, analysis of PrV-specific transcripts provided a way for identifying genes and a foundation to further study the roles of these transcripts in PrV infection.
