Mechanism of Virulence Attenuation of Glycosaminoglycan-Binding Variants of Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Murray Valley Encephalitis Virus
15 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
The in vivo mechanism for virulence attenuation of laboratory-derived variants of two flaviviruses in the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) serocomplex is described. Host cell adaptation of JEV and Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVE) by serial passage in adenocarcinoma cells selected for variants characterized by (i) a small plaque phenotype, (ii) increased affinity to heparin-Sepharose, (iii) enhanced...
