Tissue culture infectivity of different strains of infectious bursal disease virus is determined by distinct amino acids in VP2
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Two types of strains of serotype I of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) have been described, on the basis of their ability (IBDV-TC) or inability (IBDV-BU) to infect chicken embryonic cells in culture. However, both types infect B lymphocytes in the bursa of Fabricius of young chickens. To determine the molecular basis for tissue culture infectivity, virus recombinants with chimeric segments A were...
