RESUMO

The restriction endonuclease Eco R I cleaves HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA into specific fragments that can be resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. Comparison of HSV-1 strains KOS, 14-012, MP, F, and CI 101, and HSV-2 strains 333 and 186, suggests that the DNAs from type 1 strains are similar but not identical, and that the type 2 strains differ greatly from type 1 strains. The molecular lengths of the fragments have been determined by electron microscopy and can be used to calibrate gel electrophoretic analyses of DNA fragments.
