Major changes in the G protein of human respiratory syncytial virus isolates introduced by a duplication of 60 nucleotides

22 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

The entire nucleotide sequence of the G gene of three human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) isolates (antigenic group B) has been determined. These three viruses (named BA viruses) were isolated in Buenos Aires in 1999 from specimens collected in different hospitals and at different dates. BA viruses have an exact duplication of 60 nucleotides in the G gene, starting after residue 791. This duplication is...
