"IS6110-Based Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra."

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Microbial Pathogenesis, "IS6110-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and its avirulent mutant H37Ra was performed by a number of restriction enzymes, including Nru I, EcoN I, Pst I, and Pvu II. No differences were found in the IS6110-fingerprints of the study strains by Nru I. One differential IS6110-positive restriction fragment was detected by EcoN I in strain H37Ra, while analysis by Pst I revealed that two fragments of the strain H37Rv were replaced by four novel IS6110-positive fragments in the strain H37Ra. By using Pvu II, a restriction enzyme that...
