Abstract excerpt
The vaccinia virus genome encodes a DNA polymerase that is similar to other DNA polymerases. A mutation in the polymerase gene at a site that is adjacent to conserved residues allows viral replication in the presence of aphidicolin. Since wild-type virus is converted to aphidicolin-resistance by site-directed mutagenesis, it was feasible that active virus with substituted conserved residues could be detected by...
