Abstract excerpt
We recently described the derivation of a dengue serotype 2 virus (DEN2mutF) that exhibited a host range-restricted phenotype; it was severely impaired for replication in cultured mosquito cells (C6/36 cells). DEN2mutF virus had selected mutations in genomic sequences predicted to form a 3' stem-loop structure (3'-SL) that is conserved among all flavivirus species. The 3'-SL constitutes the downstream terminal...
