Popis: A method for the isolation of segments of any desired length from the 5′ end of retrovirus RNA has been tested. The method is based on selection of 5′-specific segments by hybridizing suitably fragmented genomic (35 S) RNA to mercurated strong stop cDNA followed by chromatography on sulfhydryl-agarose. The method has been shown to be effective for Akv viral RNA by observing the T1 oligonucleotide fingerprints of a 5′-enriched fraction. This fingerprint pattern is of lower complexity than that of total 35 S RNA, contains oligonucleotide spots that have previously been assigned as 5′ specific by conventional fingerprinting methods, and does not overlap with the pattern from 3′-specific RNA.
