Abstract excerpt
Herpesvirus saimiri strains can be divided into at least three subgroups (A, B, C) based on sequence divergence at the left end of viral unique sequence DNA. Strains of subgroups A and C are highly oncogenic and readily transform simian T-lymphocytes in vitro to interleukin-2 independent growth, while subgroup B strains do not. A left terminal reading frame of a H. saimiri subgroup A strain was shown previously...
