Neuroadapted Yellow Fever Virus 17D: Genetic and Biological Characterization of a Highly Mouse-Neurovirulent Virus and Its Infectious Molecular Clone
15 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
A neuroadapted strain of yellow fever virus (YFV) 17D derived from a multiply mouse brain-passaged virus (Porterfield YF17D) was additionally passaged in SCID and normal mice. The virulence properties of this virus (SPYF) could be distinguished from nonneuroadapted virus (YF5.2iv, 17D infectious clone) by decreased average survival time in SCID mice after peripheral inoculation, decreased average survival time in...
