Abstract excerpt
Avian leukosis virus, subgroup J (ALV-J), has a wide host range, preferentially infecting meat-type birds, and produces a high incidence of myelocytomatosis and nephromas. Using the published sequences from HPRS-103 (ALV-J isolated in 1989 in Great Britain), we designed a set of PCR primers that amplified proviral DNA from nine U.S. field samples. The primers were specific for ALV-J, not amplifying DNA from...
