摘要
The DNA isolated from occluded Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus consisted of double-stranded linear, open circular, and covalently closed molecules. The DNA had a guanosine plus cytosine content (G + C) of 59-62% as estimated from both thermal denaturation and CsCl density gradient centrifugation. The L. dispar host DNA had a G + C content of 38-39%. Comparisons of molecular weight estimations for viral DNA by sedimentation on neutral sucrose gradients, electron microscopy, and reassociation kinetics gave values of 91-106 × 106, 94-102 × 106, and 78-93 × 106, respectively. Preliminary analysis of restriction endonuclease profiles indicated a molecular weight of approximately 88 × 106 for the sum of the fragments. © 1979.
