Abstract

Fine structure marker rescue involving the use of subfragments of vaccinia virus HindIII DNA fragments L, J, and H has been used to map the mutations in eight temperature-sensitive mutants of vaccinia virus representing four complementation groups. Comparison of their map locations with the positions of the open reading frames and RNA transcripts that have been mapped within this region has allowed the identification of one or two polypeptides as the temperature-sensitive gene product of each mutant.
