Because deletions in the viral genome have been reported in the VP2 sequence and the regulatory region of hamster polyomavirus (11), a virus that causes lymphomas, the sequence encompassing part of the VP2 protein and the regulatory region (4,876-238) of 7 MCPyV isolates were PCR amplified with the primer set RegF/RegR (5'-TGTTCAGCTGTGAACCCAAG-3' and 5'-GAGC CTCTCTTTCTTTCCTATTT-3', respectively), cloned, and sequenced.
