Separation of the complementary strands of double-stranded cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 and peanut stunt virus-associated RNA 5. 1983

J M Kaper, and M E Tousignant

The double-stranded forms of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5, viral satellites of the cucumovirus group, after denaturation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under appropriate conditions allow their complementary strands to be separated and fractionated. These fractionated (+) and (-) strands are free of contaminating viral RNA fragments. They serve as templates for the preparation of cDNAs of opposite polarity, which are used to probe the viral RNA-dependent replication of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5.

D012330	RNA, Double-Stranded	RNA consisting of two strands as opposed to the more prevalent single-stranded RNA. Most of the double-stranded segments are formed from transcription of DNA by intramolecular base-pairing of inverted complementary sequences separated by a single-stranded loop. Some double-stranded segments of RNA are normal in all organisms.	Double-Stranded RNA,Double Stranded RNA,RNA, Double Stranded
D012367	RNA, Viral	Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral RNA
