Proviral DNA of Moloney Leukemia Virus: Purification and Visualization

Closed-circular proviral DNA of Moloney leukemia virus has been purified from a 10$^{7}$ excess of cellular and mitochondrial DNA. The DNA can be visualized in the electron microscope and has the contour length of a molecule with a molecular weight of about 5.5 × 10$^{6}$. Electron microscopic obser...

Zusammenfassung:Closed-circular proviral DNA of Moloney leukemia virus has been purified from a 10$^{7}$ excess of cellular and mitochondrial DNA. The DNA can be visualized in the electron microscope and has the contour length of a molecule with a molecular weight of about 5.5 × 10$^{6}$. Electron microscopic observation of a hybrid between viral RNA and this circular DNA confirms the viral origin of this molecule.
