Abstract excerpt
Passage of native classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in cultured swine kidney cells (SK6 cells) selects virus variants that attach to the surface of cells by interaction with membrane-associated heparan sulfate (HS). A Ser-to-Arg change in the C terminus of envelope glycoprotein E(rns) (amino acid 476 in the open reading frame of CSFV) is responsible for selection of these HS-binding virus variants (M. M. Hulst,...
