Abstract excerpt
We have reported that the region between amino acids 164 and 303 in the glycoprotein of rabies Nishigahara strain is important for lethality in adult mice. The region contains nine amino acid substitutions between the virulent Nishigahara and the avirulent RC-HL strains. In order to determine key residues for the pathogenicity, two chimeric strains and seven mutants were generated and examined for...
