Efficient cDNA-Based Rescue of La Crosse Bunyaviruses Expressing or Lacking the Nonstructural Protein NSs
28 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
La Crosse virus (LACV) belongs to the Bunyaviridae family and causes severe encephalitis in children. It has a negative-sense RNA genome which consists of the three segments L, M, and S. We successfully rescued LACV by transfection of just three plasmids, using a system which was previously established for Bunyamwera virus (Lowen et al., Virology 330:493-500, 2004). These cDNA plasmids represent the three viral...
