Some Physiochemical Properties of Yaba Poxvirus Deoxyribonucleic Acid

David S Yohn 1, John F Gallagher 1
PMCID: PMC375739  PMID: 4304440

Abstract

Yaba tumor poxvirus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has a density of 1.6905 in CsCl and its Tm value in 0.015 m citrate in saline is 82.3. The guanine plus cytosine content estimated from these properties was taken to be 32.5 ± 0.5%, a value 2 to 3% less than for DNA from other poxviruses reported to date.
