Amplification of the Intact Gene Coding Epstein-Barr Virus-Specific tIIym idine Kinase
Abstract: Based o1"1 Epstein—Barr virus(EBV)DNA (B95—8)genome sequenc3e data and the strut—ture BXLFlopen readingframe codingforEBV ~hymidinekinase(TK),a pairofPCR pr/mers was designed and svnthesized Template DNA was extracted rapidly from B95—8 calIs harboring EBV bv using guanidinium isothioeyanate(GuSCN)and silica∞urse(cs).A 1843bp A frag—ment containing intact EBV TK gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction.The PCR prod—uct was verified by cleaving with NcoI
