    Abstract:
    The location of nucleotide sequences within the bovid herpesvirus 1 (BHV-2) genome homologous to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) DNA were investigated. BHV-2 DNA was digested with restriction endonucleases and blotted to nitrocellulose paper. The blots were then probed with plasmids containing HSV-1 genes for thymidine kinase (TK), the major DNA binding protein (ICP8), the major capsid protein (VP5) and genes for HSV-1 glycoproteins gB, gD, and gC. Except for HSV-1 gC, each HSV-1 gene tested hybridized to BHV-2 nucleotide sequences that were located either on both sides of a restriction endonuclease cleavage site, within a small restriction endonuclease fragment, or to an area common to two overlapping restriction fragments. Thus, we were able to localize BHV-2 nucleotide sequences homologous to the HSV-1 ICP8 gene between 0.38 and 0.41 map units (m.u.), and BHV-2 nucleotide sequences homologous to the HSV-1 VP5 gene between 0.24 and 0.27 m.u. In addition, BHV-2 nucleotide sequences homologous to HSV-1 genes for TK, gB and gD were found to lie on both sides of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites at 0.30, 0.35, and 0.94 m.u., respectively.
