Presence of deletion molecules in human wart virus DNA.

PMCID: PMC353829  PMID: 189075

Abstract

Deletion mutants of human wart virus were found to occur occasionally in the virus population transmitted in vivo, although the majority of virion DNA molecules were homogeneous in length and base sequence. Human wart virus DNA was 1.48 times as long as nondefective simian virus 40 DNA.
