Abstract excerpt
On the basis of genome nucleotide differences between a nonneuropathogenic and a neuropathogenic lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) quasispecies (LDV-P and LDV-C, respectively), we have designed sets of primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification that can detect recombinants between them in a 1276-nt-long segment ranging from ORF 5 to ORF 7. Mice were infected with large amounts of both...
