Epstein-Barr virus (B95-8) DNA VII: molecular cloning and detailed mapping.

Abstract

Two of the Sal I fragments and all of the internal BamHI fragments (with the exception of BamHI c, a 0.6 x 10(6) dalton fragment) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA have been cloned in pBR322. The termini and other parts of the DNA (including the EcoRI fragment which contains BamHI c) have been cloned as EcoRI fragments in bacteriophage Charon 4A. The cloned DNAs have been used to derive a complete map of the BamHI fragments of EBV DNA and to align the BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, and SalI cleavage sites in EBV DNA.
