RESUMO
Studies were performed to ascertain the relationship of human papovavirus JC to BK virus and to simian virus 40 (SV40) by further restriction endonuclease analysis and by DNA-DNA competition hybridization on membrane filters. Form I DNA extracted from two new isolates from cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy of human papovaviruses that were JC-like in their antigenic properties were found to yield restriction endonuclease fragmentation patterns similar to those of prototypic JC virus DNA and different from those of BK or SV40. Form I DNA preparations of JC and BK viruses were found to be related to each other and to SV40 DNA to a similar extent, with JC and BK virus DNAs containing sequences homologous to both early and late regions of the SV40 genome. The relatedness in each comparison was less than 50%, and heterologous hybrids between either JC or BK and SV40 DNAs were found to be less stable than homologous SV40-SV40 hybrids in high concentrations of formamide, suggesting substantial mismatch within homologous regions, to the extent of 15 to 30%. The new JC-like isolates were also studied in competition hybridization reactions with SV40 DNA and yielded results similar to those obtained with JC virus.
