Abstract excerpt
Swinepox virus (SPV), the only member of the Suipoxvirus genus, shows little antigenic relatedness or DNA homology to members of the other poxvirus genera. A SPV thymidine kinase (TK) gene was detected and mapped to the left end of the HindIII G fragment using degenerate oligonucleotide probes. Cloning and sequencing of a 1.8-kb HindIII-BamHI fragment containing the SPV TK gene revealed an open reading frame...
