Abstract excerpt
Cloning of full length genomes of herpesviruses as bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) has greatly facilitated the manipulation of the genomes of several herpesviruses to identify the pathogenic determinants. We have previously reported the construction of the BAC clone (pRB-1B5) of the highly oncogenic Marek's disease virus (MDV) strain RB-1B, which has proven to be a valuable resource for elucidating several...
