Comparisons of calicivirus pathotypes using oligonucleotide patterns from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

Creator:: Gambee, Jay E.
Abstract:: Six serotypes of calicivirus (San Miguel Sea Lion Virus types 4,6,7 and 13, Mink Calicivirus and Reptile Calicivirus) were plaque purified, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis fingerprints, of the ³²P-labeled Ribonuclease T1 digested viral RNA, were performed for each serotype. Fingerprints revealed several oligonucleotides with similar mobilities, and therefore, possibly similar...
