Plasmid subcloning by conventional techniques of full length exogenous mouse mammary viruses (MMTV) has not been realized because of the involvement of host-mediated structural changes in the viral gag gene. To circumvent this problem, an alternative subcloning method, excision of phagemid (pBluescript SK) from lambda ZAP II, was successfully used to subclone a novel exogenous MMTV (JYG-MMTV) provirus fragment containing an intact gag gene. Sequence analysis revealed that the LTR of this virus is significantly different from the LTR of C3H-MMTV in the U3 region.
由于宿主介导的病毒gag基因结构变化的影响,通过常规技术对全长外源性小鼠乳腺病毒(MMTV)进行质粒亚克隆尚未实现。为了解决这个问题,一种替代的亚克隆方法,即从λZAP II中切除噬菌粒(pBluescript SK),成功地用于亚克隆一个包含完整gag基因的新型外源性MMTV(JYG-MMTV)前病毒片段。序列分析表明,该病毒的LTR在U3区域与C3H-MMTV的LTR有显著差异。
