Abstract excerpt
Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus infects a number of host cells, either mosquitoes or vertebrates, in nature. The viral envelope (E) protein is known to interact with molecule(s) on the cell membrane during the early stage of virus infection. In this study, two sets of virus variants including T1P1-L4/T1P1-S1 and CJN-L1/CJN-S1 derived from two strains (T1P1 and CJN) of the JE virus were used to evaluate the...
