Abstract excerpt
Tick-borne flavivirus strain Langat TP21 (LGT TP21) recovered from ticks, is naturally attenuated for humans but retains demonstrable neurovirulence and peripheral virulence ("neuroinvasiveness") for mice. Previously a mutant, strain E5, less virulent for mice was derived from LGT TP21. Multiple attempts to prepare a full-length infectious TP21 cDNA from cDNA fragments cloned in E. coli were uniformly...
