Abstract excerpt
Abstract. We have reported that attenuation of the virulence of a field Sendai virus (SeV) isolated by egg passage is associated with an impediment of viral genome replication in mouse respiratory cells (Kiyotani et al., Arch Virol 146, 893-908, 2001). To determine the molecular basis for the attenuation, we sequenced entire genomes of representative SeV clones isolated during egg passages and compared those with...
