  • Title: Molecular cloning of bovine leukemia virus DNA integrated into the bovine tumor cell genome.

    Abstract:
    The bovine leukemia virus (BLV) DNA harbored in the bovine tumor cell genome was cloned in lambda Charon 4A phage. Using either representative or 3' half-enriched BLV cDNA as a blot hybridization probe, clone lambda BLV-1 was shown to carry 9 kb of the BLV genome, flanked by cellular sequences at both ends. Restriction mapping with twelve endonucleases and hybridization of the DNA fragments to BLV cDNA representing a 3'-end portion of the viral genome revealed the presence and precise location of two long terminal repeats (LTRs) and virus-cell junctions. Thus, lambda BLV-1 appears to contain the complete BLV genome and flanking tumor cellular sequences. The restriction map of the cloned BLV proviral DNA closely resembles that previously reported for unintegrated linear proviral DNA, but differs significantly from that of the integrated provirus of another BLV isolate, the difference occurring preferentially in the putative gag and pol genes.
