| Abstract | A selective plaque assay that uses thymidine kinase (TK)-deficient human 143 cells was developed to titer mixtures of TK(+) and TK(-) vaccinia virus. With this assay it could be shown that methotrexate-resistant TK(+) virus was formed in cells coinfected with TK(-) virus and wild-type virus DNA. By substituting vaccinia DNA fragments cloned in plasmids for virion DNA, this marker rescue system provided the basis for mapping the TK gene. Of the 15 HindIII fragments, only J could rescue five independently derived TK(-) mutants. This 5000-base-pair (bp) fragment maps approximately 80,000 bp from the left-end of the 180,000-bp vaccinia genome. Marker rescue could be detected with 18 ng or less of plasmid and was proportionate to DNA concentration. The resistance to methotrexate of the TK(+) recombinants was shown to be due to TK synthesis. Evidence that the HindIII J fragment contains the structural TK gene and not a regulatory element was demonstrated by the synthesis of active TK in a cell-free system programmed with mRNA selected by hybridization to the plasmid. Previous studies [Belle-Isle, H., Venkatesan, S. & Moss, B. (1981) Virology 112, 306-317] indicated that mRNAs coding for three immediate early polypeptides with molecular weights of 41,000, 21,000, and 17,000 map within HindIII J. The mapping of the easily selectable vaccinia virus TK gene now opens the way to genetic manipulations that should increase our understanding of vaccinia virus gene expression and facilitate the use of vaccinia virus as an efficient cloning vector for foreign genes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
