Summary

We calculated the predicted melting profiles of evolutionary variants of SV 40 and compared the nucleotide sequences of largeT antigen binding sites and recombinant sites for homology. Neither is critically important in selecting a recombinant site for SV 40-SV 40 and SV 40-cellular DNA fragments.
