Duck hepatitis B virus: cloning and subcloning of the viral genome.

In the course of studies on the biology of hepadnavirus infections, duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) DNA was isolated from the serum of a German Pekin duck. Viral DNA was cloned in E. coli using pBR 322 DNA as a vector. The cloned DHBV DNA F 1-6 was characterised by restriction enzyme analyses. DHBV DNA F 1-6 was subcloned in both orientations in plasmid pSP 65 to produce strand-specific RNA probes. These probes specifically identified asymmetrically replicating nascent minus-strand DHBV DNA species or plus-strand viral RNA transcripts.
