Abstract
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and herpesvirus papio (HVPapio) DNAs share a common format and 40% homology. Labeled cloned fragments of EBV DNA were hybridized to blots of XbaI, EcoRI, HindIII, and SalI fragments of HVPapio DNA. EBV fragments which mapped from 2 x 10(6) to 54 x 10(6) and from 59 x 10(6) to 106 x 10(6) daltons hybridized to fragments at identical map positions in HVPapio DNA. Regions of nonhomology were demonstrated at 0 x 10(6) to 2 x 10(6), 54 x 10(6) to 59 10(6), and 106 x 10(6) to 115 x 10(6) daltons.
