Correlation between Point Mutations in NS2 and the Viability and Cytopathogenicity of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Strain Oregon Analyzed with an Infectious cDNA Clone
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Cytopathogenicity of Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is correlated with expression of the nonstructural protein NS3, which can be generated by processing of a fusion protein termed NS2-3. For the cytopathogenic (cp) BVDV strain Oregon, NS2-3 processing is based on a set of point mutations within NS2. To analyze the correlation between NS2-3 cleavage and cytopathogenicity, a full-length cDNA clone composed of...
