14 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) open reading frame (ORF) 2a contains a small internal ORF (2b) capable of encoding a protein of 73 aa, termed E protein. The function of E protein is currently unknown. The E protein possesses two cysteines at positions 49 and 54 that are highly conserved among North American isolates. In the present study, it was shown that E protein did not...
