Mapping of the Major Glycoprotein Gene of Human Cytomegalovirus

Institut für Klinische Virologie der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Loschgestrasse 7, D-8520 Erlangen, F.R.G.

The gene coding for the most abundant glycoprotein (gp58) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), strain AD169, was physically mapped on the viral genome. A monospecific rabbit antiserum against gp58 was used to screen a cDNA library that was constructed from poly(A)⁺ RNA of HCMV-infected cells in the prokaryotic expression vector gt11. A cDNA clone was identified which synthesized part of the glycoprotein. It allowed localization of the coding region within the right terminal sequence of the HindIII-F fragment between map coordinates 0·344 and 0·380 of HCMV virion DNA.

Keywords: HCMV, glycoprotein, gene mapping
