Reiteration Frequency of Feline Type C Viral Genomes in Homologous and Heterologous Host Cell DNA

Abstract
Differences in the multiplicity of proviral sequences of two feline endogenous viruses, RD-114 and FeLV, in homologous and heterologous host DNA were examined by viral cDNA hybridization using cellular DNA fractionated with respect to reiteration frequency. The endogenous proviral DNAs in cat cells were fractionated predominantly with intermediate-repeated sequences, while RD-114 proviralDNA in virus-infected human cells was fractionated together with unique-sequence DNA. These differences were consistent with the results of kinetic analysis using unfractionated DNA.
