Abstract
The molecular weights of canine adenovirus type 1 (canAV-1, strain Utrecht) and type 2 (canAV-2, strain Toronto A26/61) DNAs were determined by contour length measurements and restriction endonuclease analysis. In each case, an average molecular weight value of 20 (.+-. 0.5) .times. 106 daltons was obtained with both methods. Similar in size, the canAV-1 and canAV-2 DNA molecules were, however, cleaved at very distinct positions by a variety of restriction endonucleases. The observed lack of DNA sequence homology confirms the existence of at least two different canine adenovirus species [Intervirology 23: 23-28 (1985)].Keywords
