Rescue of Recombinant Marburg Virus from cDNA Is Dependent on Nucleocapsid Protein VP30
26 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Here we report recovery of infectious Marburg virus (MARV) from a full-length cDNA clone. Compared to the wild-type virus, recombinant MARV showed no difference in terms of morphology of virus particles, intracellular distribution in infected cells, and growth kinetics. The nucleocapsid protein VP30 of MARV and Ebola virus (EBOV) contains a Zn-binding motif which is important for the function of VP30 as a...
