Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide changes at both codons 317 and 321 in the VP2 capsid gene of the immunosuppressive strain of the murine parvovirus minute virus of mice, MVM(i), are required to create a virus capable of growing in A9 fibroblasts. This double mutant virus, ILB1, has growth characteristics very similar to those of the prototype fibrotropic strain MVM(p) in both single- and multiple-round infections of fibroblasts and is...
