Difference in the meq Gene between Oncogenic and Attenuated Strains of Marek's Disease Virus Serotype 1.
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Serotype 1 strains of Marek's disease virus (MDV1), except attenuated vaccine strains, are known to cause lymphomas in visceral organs of infected chickens. To know additional genetic differences between oncogenic and nononcogenic MDV1, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify the meq gene of the viral genome. In addition to the 1,062-bp band including the native meq open reading frame (ORF), a...
