  • Monkey herpes B virus genes
    Patent number: 5767265
    Abstract: With the DNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:4:) of monkey B virus which codes for the gB glycoprotein (UL27) (SEQ ID NO:6:) and a portion (UL28) (SEQ ID NO:5:) of an ICP 18.5 kilodalton polypeptide (UL28), methods for early detection of the presence of monkey B virus in humans and monkeys can be performed by amplifying primer sequences and distinguishing the monkey B virus DNA coding for UL27 or UL28 from other herpes virus gB DNA using unique reaction conditions to permit unequivocal differentiation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 1995
    Date of Patent: June 16, 1998
    Assignee: Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research
    Inventors: Richard Eberle, Darla Black, Franco Scinicariello, Julia Hilliard
