Influenza viral DNA clones containing sequences derived from cytoplasmic viral mRNA and genomic viral RNA were obtained. Sequence analysis of terminal nucleotides of 5 independently isolated viral DNA segments showed that additional oligonucleotides were covalently linked to the 5'' terminus of viral mRNA transcripts. The sequences of these additional nucleotides varied among DNA clones of the same gene and of different genes as well. These inserts also varied in length, ranging from 6-14 nucleotides. The heterogeneity of these sequences suggests that they were derived originally from cellular RNA molecules. These findings provide evidence that cellular RNA sequences are used to prime influenza viral mRNA transcription in infected [canine kidney] cells. In addition, the sequences at both termini of v[viral messenger]RNA were fully represented in clone pFV 88, indicating that the cloned DNA contained the complete viral gene coding for the hemagglutinin.
