Abstract excerpt
Our laboratory has previously reported isolation of human rhinovirus type 16 (HRV16) mutants which depend on WIN 52035 to grow. A rapid rise of progeny virus infectivity occurred when drug was added late in growth cycles, suggesting that the drug-dependence lesion was at the step of virus assembly (W. Wang et al., J. Virol. 72:1210-1218, 1998). Here, we report that capsid subunits, 5S protomers and 14S pentamers,...
