Abstract excerpt
To identify the genetic determinants of virulence for swine vesicular disease virus, a panel of recombinant and site-directed mutant viruses were constructed from cDNA clones of a virulent J1'73 strain and an avirulent H/3'76 strain. Initial studies mapped the genetic determinants of virulence to either or both of the two sites at nucleotide (nt) 2842, encoding VP1-132, and nt 3355, encoding 2A-20. To determine...
