A physical map of caprine arthritis-encephalitis provirus

Terminally redundant linear proviral DNA of approximately 9.5 kb was the major unintegrated species recovered in the Hirt supernatant fraction of caprine synovial membrane cells infected with strain 75-G63 caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus. A physical map based on the cleavage sites of 13 restriction endonucleases was deduced for this proviral DNA.
