Tissue distribution of Epstein-Barr virus genotypes.
Chen, H L, Lung, M L, Chan, K H, Griffin, B E, Ng, M H
The genome of naturally occurring Epstein-Barr virus contains either two or three copies of a 29-bp tandem repeat sequence in the first intron of the BZLF gene. These genotypes differ markedly in...
Lung, M L, Chang, R S, Jones, J H
We analyzed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genomes from lymphoblastoid cell lines isolated from patients with infectious mononucleosis and from healthy subjects from California, Hawaii, and Hong Kong...
Lung, M L, Hartley, J W, Rowe, W P, Hopkins, N H
We used T1 oligonucleotide maps, in conjunction with available nucleotide sequences of appropriate C-type viruses, to identify regions of the viral genome that distinguish two biological classes of...
Nucleotide sequence of the 3' end of MCF 247 murine leukemia virus.
Kelly, M, Holland, C A, Lung, M L, Chattopadhyay, S K, Lowy, D R, Hopkins, N H
We isolated DNA clones of MCF 247, a leukemogenic, recombinant type C virus obtained from the thymus of an AKR mouse. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) and...
The effectiveness of a latex agglutination assay kit for the detection of Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin and cholera toxin was determined for the identification of natural isolates of the...
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli serogroup O126 isolates have been isolated in Hong Kong since 1982 from sporadic cases of infantile diarrhea and from one outbreak in a neonatal ward. A 64-megadalton...
Zheng, B J, Lam, W P, Yan, Y K, Lo, S K, Lung, M L, Ng, M H
Under stringent hybridization conditions, cDNA of segment 9 of the rotavirus genome, which codes for the viral protein VP7, permitted differentiation of serotypes of culture-grown rotaviruses and...
Molecular epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae in Hong Kong.
Yam, W C, Lung, M L, Ng, K Y, Ng, M H
We studied restriction fragment length polymorphism of the enterotoxin genes of isolates of Vibrio cholerae El Tor, indistinguishable by bacteriophage typing, which were collected in Hong Kong since...
Direct detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in mixed cultures by DNA filter assay was affected by the presence of other bacteria in the cultures. By shortening incubation to 6 h,...
Escherichia coli associated with childhood diarrheas.
Yam, W C, Lung, M L, Yeung, C Y, Tam, J S, Ng, M H
We studied 2,246 episodes of childhood diarrhea over a 2-year period in a general hospital serving a population of about one million on the island of Hong Kong. Rotavirus (24%) and nontyphoid...
We studied Vibrio cholerae El Tor isolates associated with an outbreak of cholera among Vietnamese refugees interned in Hong Kong. The restriction fragment length polymorphism of the enterotoxin gene...
