A stable full-length yellow fever virus cDNA clone and the role of conserved RNA elements in flavivirus replication
11 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Yellow fever virus (YF) is the prototype member of the Flavivirus genus. Here, we report the successful construction of a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the vaccine strain YF-17D. YF cDNA was cloned into a low-copy-number plasmid backbone and stably maintained in several E. coli strains. Transcribed RNAs had a specific infectivity of 10(5)-10(6) p.f.u. ( micro g RNA)(-1), and the resulting virus exhibited...
