[Method]MDV genomic DNA was extracted from lymphoid tissues of the diseased chickens with latent MDV infection. The MDV L-meq gene was amplified by gradient PCR,inserted into pMD18-T vector and sequenced. The sequence was analyzed using DNAman software. [Result] The obtained sequence had 100% similarity with the published se- quence of L-meq gene,showing successful amplification of target gene. [Conclusion]The paper provides new ideas and new methods for preven- tion and treatment of Marek's disease in chickens.展开更多
Isolation and identification of a specific cDNA mapping to the BamHI I2 and L fragments from the inverted repeats of unique long region(IRL) in the genome of Marek′s disease herpesvirus (MDV) oncogenic strain Beij...Isolation and identification of a specific cDNA mapping to the BamHI I2 and L fragments from the inverted repeats of unique long region(IRL) in the genome of Marek′s disease herpesvirus (MDV) oncogenic strain Beijing 1 had been previously performed by us. In this study, the specific cDNA was cloned into phagemid vectors PUC118 and 119 on the basis of prefabricated two recognized sites in synthesized primers. Recombinants were further identified with restriction pattern, molecular hybridization, and DNA sequencing analysis. It was demonstrated that this cDNA with 720 base pair (bp) contained sequences including a potentially incomplete open reading frame (ORF) encoded a 238 amino acids (aa) predicted polypeptide which was significantly homologous not only to part of N terminus of meq, but also to that of XbaI ClaI subfragment of BamHI L. In accordance with these data, following results could be deduced:①the 720 bp cDNA represented a spliced transcript;②meq transcription could be extended from the right hand end of BamHI I2 to the adjacent BamHI L fragment;③the L region was transcribed in varying degrees\ in MDV induced lymphoblastoid tumors.展开更多
