Abstract excerpt
A 22.6-kbp variable region near the left end of the chlorovirus CVK2 genome which was characterized. This region contained a tandem array of 5 gene copies for Vp260-like protein, a viral surface glycoprotein. The authentic 104-kDa Vp260 was encoded at another site on the genome and contained 13 internally located, tandem repeats of 61-65 amino acids like the prominent Rickettsia surface antigen. By Northern and...
