 AB    Conserved regions of the gag, pol, and env genes of HIV-1 pBH10 DNA (gag
       nucleotides(nt)1508-1652, pol nt 2811-3118, env nt 7792-7934; Ratner et
       al., 1985) were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using
       oligonucleotides complementary to the termini of these regions as
       primers. Primer areas of the amplified DNA were then removed by
       digestion with restriction endonucleases, and the internal fragments
       purified and cloned in both orientations into the 'riboprobe'
       transcription vector pGEM-5Z. Riboprobes made from these plasmids did
       detect the specific sequences of pBH10 DNA and of HIV-1 DNA amplified by
       PCR from clinical material. The riboprobes will be useful to confirm the
       specificity of PCR-amplified fragments of lymphocyte DNA obtained from
       infants of HIV-infected mothers and from high risk, but seronegative
       contacts of HIV-1 infected individuals.
