dc.description.abstract The replication of autonomous parvovirus LuIII and its encapsidation pattern have not been fully explained. Two genomic clones of LuIII, pBLu(+) and pBLu(-), were constructed. These clones were used to produce the (+) or (-) ss viral DNA, to assess the capability of infection of the individual strands. Three different techniques were utilized to obtain the single-stranded LuIII DNA. Only the treatment with Exonuclease III yielded both strands from the pBLu(+) construct. Each polarity of the single-stranded LuIII DNA was independently transfected into cancerous HeLa cells by electroporation. The results obtained suggest that both the ss(+) and ss(-) LuIII DNA were capable of establishing an infection in these cells. The (-) strand produced 100% cell lysis two days prior to the (+) strand, appearing to be more effective in the establishment of viral infection. en_US

Estos clones fueron utilizados para tratar de producir ADN viral de hebra sencilla de polaridad (+) o (-). Se intentaron tres técnicas diferentes para obtener el ADN viral de hebra sencilla de LuIII. Solamente el tratamiento con Exonucleasa III produjo ambas hebras utilizando la construcción pBLu(+). Ambas polaridades del ADN de hebra sencilla de LuIII fueron transfectadas a células cancerosas HeLa por electroporación. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que las hebras de ADN de polaridad (+) y (-) de LuIII fueron capaces de establecer una infección en estas células. La hebra (-) alcanzó 100% de lisis celular dos días antes que la hebra (+), aparentando ser más efectiva en el establecimiento de la infección viral. en_US
