Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of hepatitis A virus (HAV) replicate inefficiently in cell culture unless mutations are acquired throughout the genome. An Ala-to-Val substitution in the nonstructural protein 2B (2B-216) was known to have a major impact on replication in cell culture. Analysis of chimeric viruses confirmed that the 2B-A[216]V change was critical for efficient replication and that Leu or Ile could substitute for...
