“…These observations led to further studies to understand the role of individual proteins in the RNA-synthetic process and the mechanism of RNA transcription in vitro. Recently, using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology, each of the mRNAs coding for the viral proteins has been molecularly cloned, and through the work of several laboratories, the nucleotide sequences have been determined (53,80,137,138,184,185,188,194,198). In fact, the complete nucleotide sequences of the genome RNA of the Indiana serotype of VSV and of half of the genome RNA of the New Jersey serotype of VSV are now known (18,55,81,84).…”
