Coronaviruses SD and SK share extensive nucleotide homology with murine coronavirus MHV-A59, more than that shared between human and murine coronaviruses 1983-04-30 .txt text/plain 3818 267 61 A cDNA probe representing the genome of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) strain A59 (MHV-A59) was used to measure nucleotide sequence homologies among murine and human coronaviruses and the SD and SK coronaviruses isolated by Burks et al. Since SD and SK were isolated by inoculation of multiple sclerosis (MS) central nervous system (CNS) tissue into mice or cultured mouse cells, it is important to determine their relationships to other murine and human coronavirus isolates. Some strains of HCV such as 0C43, are antigenically related to murine coronaviruses such as MHV strain JHM (McIntosh, 1974; Gerdes et al., 1981a, b) and may be grown in the brains of suckling mice (McIntosh et al., 1967) . We have further compared murine and human coronaviruses and SD and SK by using molecular hybridization of virus-specific RNA with cDNA probes. RNA extracted either from brain homogenates of OC43-infected suckling mice or from HRT cells infected with OC43 shows homology with A59 cDNA when assayed by blot hybridization. ./cache/cord-337976-c2auspti.txt ./txt/cord-337976-c2auspti.txt
