| Abstract: | A restriction endonuclease from Haemophilus influenzae (Hind III) specifically cleaved vaccinia DNA into 14 fragments. The molecular weights of these fragments were determined by gel electrophoresis and ranged from 0.5 x 10(6) to 30 x 10(6). Hind III digestion of the DNA from the WR and CV-1 strains of vaccinia revealed a small molecular difference in one of the resulting fragments. The average molecular weight of the entire vaccinia genome was calculated to be 125 x 10(6). |
