Abstract
The structure of Marek's disease virus (MDV) DNA was investigated by using Southern blot hybridization analysis. A heterogeneous region was observed in the inverted repeats region, IRs and TRs, as well as in the TRL and IRL. The results of DNA sequencing of the heterogeneous region showed that the heterogeneity of IRS and TRS was due to amplification of a 178-bp repeat sequence. Amplification of IRS and TRS was found in viral DNA from both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains. The structure of DNA from the latent MDV genome present in established lymphoblastic cells was also determined. Amplification of the 132-bp repeat sequence in IRL and TRL was not found in latent MDV DNA of established lymphoblastic cells, whereas amplification of the 178-bp repeat sequence in IRS and TRS was found in the same DNA.Entities:
