RESUMO
The results of molecular hybridization experiments have demonstrated that the RNA genome of RD-114 virus has extensive nucleotide sequence homology with the RNA genome of Crandell virus, an endogenous type C virus of cats, but only limited homology with the RNA genomes of feline sarcoma virus and feline leukemia virus. The genomic RNAs of RD-114 virus and Crandell virus also had identical sedimentation coefficients of 50S. A structural rearrangement of genomic RNA did not exist within released RD-114 virions, whereas a structural rearrangement of genomic RNA did occur within feline sarcoma virions and feline leukemia virions after release from virus-producing cells.
