Abstract excerpt
Twelve strains of mumps virus, belonging to the A, C and D genotypes of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein gene, were investigated by nucleotide sequencing of the fusion protein gene. The nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences were aligned and compared with previously reported sequences of the gene. In addition an antigenic comparison between the F protein of different strains of the A, C and D...
