Abstract

A restriction endonuclease map was constructed for rabbit papillomavirus DNA. Analysis of the viral genome by cleavage with specific endonucleases, when compared with bovine papillomavirus types 1 and 2 genome maps, revealed similarities among the three genomes. A number of cleavage sites and their relative order on each genome were found to be conserved.
