Abstract excerpt
The poly(A) tail of influenza virus mRNA is synthesized by reiterative copying of a U track near the 5' end of the virion RNA (vRNA) template by the viral RNA polymerase. We have engineered a novel influenza A/WSN/33 virus which contains a neuraminidase (NA) vRNA with its U track mutated into an A track. Instead of synthesizing poly(A)-tailed NA mRNA, this novel virus synthesizes poly(U)-tailed NA mRNA. In...
