Nucleotide Sequences that Distinguish Oka Vaccine from Parental Oka and Other Varicella‐Zoster Virus Isolates
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The sequences of approximately 34 kb from the 3' end of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) Oka vaccine strain and the previously sequenced Dumas strain were compared. Sequence differences were noted in the coding sequences of several VZV open reading frames (ORFs), including ORFs 48, 51, 52, 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, and 68. Tests based on differences in the ORF62 gene and in the ORF64 poly-A region successfully...
