The RNA of the human influenza virus Singapore (H2N2) strain was labeled in vivo by 32P and separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into 8 segments, which were correlated to the corresponding gene functions and/or proteins. The base sequence homology between the individual genes (segments) of the H2N2 virus and those of different influenza A strain was determined by molecular hybridization. Segments 1, 5, 7 and 8 of the Singapore strain exhibit a base sequence homology of almost 100% as compared to the FM1 strain (H1N1), while the homology between the other segments is significantly lower (24-76%). For the Singapore and Hong Kong (H3N2) strains all segments except that coding for the hemagglutinin (HA, 24%) exhibit a homology close to 100%. The 32P-labeled segment 4 (HA-gene) of the avian influenza A strain duck Ukraine (Hav7Neq2) shows a homology of 92% to Hong Kong, while the homology of at least 2 other segments is significantly lower. The H2N2 subtype is apparently derived from the H1N1 subtype by a recombination event retaining 4 H1N1 segments, whie the other 4 segments are gained from another yet unknown strain. The H3N2 subtype is presumably derived from a H2N2 subtype, retaining 7 segments of the H2N2 subtype, while the gene coding for the HA is obtained from the duck Ukraine or another highly related strain.
