A Single Amino Acid Change in nsP1 Attenuates Neurovirulence of the Sindbis-Group Alphavirus S.A.AR86
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
S.A.AR86, a member of the Sindbis group of alphaviruses, is neurovirulent in adult mice and has a unique threonine at position 538 of nsP1; nonneurovirulent members of this group of alphaviruses encode isoleucine. Isoleucine was introduced at position 538 in the wild-type S.A.AR86 infectious clone, ps55, and virus derived from this mutant clone, ps51, was significantly attenuated for neurovirulence compared to...
