Figure A3. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the ati gene of viral isolates. ati fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction by using primers based on the cowpox virus ati gene nucleotide sequence, followed by XbaI digestion. The amplified DNA was fractionated by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. Lanes: 1, vaccinia virus WR; 2, isolate-cow1; 3, isolate-cow2; 4, isolate-cow3; 5, isolate-cow4; 6, isolate-cow5; 7, isolate-calf; 8, cowpox virus BR.
