The PCR assay was used to amplify a portion of the genome of virulent and vaccinal canine parvovirus strains and of a vaccinal feline panleukopenia virus strain. A DNA fragment corresponding to the gene that encodes the VP1/VP2 proteins was amplified. The size of the PCR products was 2.2 Kbp except for CPV vaccinal 17-80 strain. The PCR product of 17-80 was 1.1 Kbp leading to the hypothesis of the presence of defective particles. All the restriction enzymes digested the 2.2 Kbp amplified products giving restriction fragments of the expected size whereas Hind III, Hpa II and Pvu II did not digest the PCR fragment of 1.1 Kbp.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D003673 Defective Viruses Viruses which lack a complete genome so that they cannot completely replicate or cannot form a protein coat. Some are host-dependent defectives, meaning they can replicate only in cell systems which provide the particular genetic function which they lack. Others, called SATELLITE VIRUSES, are able to replicate only when their genetic defect is complemented by a helper virus.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
