Abstract excerpt
Passage of human hepatitis A virus (HAV) in cell culture results in attenuation of the virus as well as progressive increases in the efficiency of virus replication in cell culture. Because the presence of identical mutations within the 5' nontranslated regions (5'NTRs) of several independently isolated cell culture-adapted HAV variants suggests that the 5'NTR may play a role in determining this change in virus...
