Influenza-related experiments: Experiments on poly(A) transcripts of 49-mer vRNA (experiment 557). Cloning showed various lengths of poly(A) tail. Attempt at PCR and nested PCR to get evidence for poly(A)+ transcripts of 49-mer and band 8 transcripts from flu infected cells. Inconclusive. Construction of a poly(A)+ cDNA library of full length clones from flu infected…

Influenza related experiments: A NP DI (about 420 nt) giving an abnormally truncated NP of 52 amino acids (experiment 616). Successful sequencing of eleven independent clones derived from full length band 8 cloning, ranging from 9-17 long mRNA snatched sequences (experiment 620). Not published. Unsuccessful attempts to detect "hybrid transcripts" with a ppp 5' end and…
