Abstract excerpt
The tandem direct reiteration R1 in the varicella-zoster virus genome consists of two elements: units composed of 18 bp and those having 15 bp, both of whose numbers and types of combination patterns vary among strains. The variations of the R1 structure were examined in order to differentiate between the wild strains and a varicella vaccine (Oka) strain by the polymerase chain reaction using two primer sets. The...
