Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the gene for the envelope protein gp85 (SU) of the Schmidt-Ruppin subgroup A (NY) strain of Rous sarcoma virus [SRA(NY)] was determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence was compared with those of other avian sarcoma-leukosis viruses. Among the five host-range determinant sequences (vr1, vr2, hr1, hr2, and vr3), the host-range determinant sequence hr2 of SRA(NY) showed a significant...
