Studies on DNA Homology between Two Nuclear Polyhedrosis Viruses from Attacus ricini Larvae

Arscs NPV DNA and Ar NPV DNA purified by SDS-phenol method were digested by restriction endonucleases EcoRI and BamHI. Arscs NPV DNA resulted in 5,5 fragments and Ar NPA DNA result ed in 8,7 fragments respectively after analysis on agarose gel electrophoresis. Five of eight fragments of Ar NPV DNA digested by EcoRI could be hybridized with probe of Arscs NPV DNA labeled by ra- dioactive isotope ~(32)p,and six of seven fragments of Ar NPV DNA digested by BamH I could be hy- bridized with probe. Dot blot hybr...
