Abstract excerpt
The genetic variability of 32 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) sub-group B isolates from a single community in Japan during the 20 years from 1980 to 1999 was determined. Two variable regions of the attachment (G) protein gene were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction amplification and their products were sequenced directly. Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences revealed seven...
