A Single Amino Acid Change in Rabies Virus Glycoprotein Increases Virus Spread and Enhances Virus Pathogenicity
27 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Several rabies virus (RV) vaccine strains containing an aspartic acid (Asp) or glutamic acid (Glu) instead of an arginine (Arg) at position 333 of the RV glycoprotein (G) are apathogenic for immunocompetent mice even after intracranial inoculation. However, we previously showed that the nonpathogenic phenotype of the highly attenuated RV strain SPBNGA, which contains a Glu at position 333 of G, is unstable when...
