Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we documented that serial passage of a biological clone of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) at high multiplicity of infection (moi) in cell culture resulted in viral populations dominated by defective genomes that included internal in-frame deletions, affecting the L and capsid-coding regions, and were infectious by complementation. In the present study, analyses of the defective genomes...
