Characterization of Marek's Disease Virus Serotype 1 (MDV-1) Deletion Mutants That Lack UL46 to UL49 Genes: MDV-1 UL49, Encoding VP22, Is Indispensable for Virus Growth
15 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Experiments were conducted to investigate the roles of Marek's disease virus serotype 1 (MDV-1) major tegument proteins VP11/12, VP13/14, VP16, and VP22 in viral growth in cultured cells. Based on a bacterial artificial chromosome clone of MDV-1 (BAC20), mutant viruses were constructed in which the MDV-1 homologs of UL46, UL47, UL48, or UL49 were deleted alone and in various combinations. It could be demonstrated...
