Differentiation of mouse hepatitis virus genotypes by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification of the nucleocapsid (N) gene of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) successfully detected 36 strains from the faeces of mice that had been housed in animal facilities in Japan from 2000 to 2003. Subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, using the enzymes Acc I, Alu I, EcoR I and Mbo I, demonstrated that these strains could...
