Construction of intertypic chimeric dengue viruses by substitution of structural protein genes.
15 Nov 1991
Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus contains an 11-kilobase positive-strand RNA genome that codes for, in one open reading frame, three structural proteins (capsid, premembrane, and envelope), followed by seven nonstructural proteins. The structural protein genes of a full-length cDNA clone of type 4 dengue virus were replaced with the corresponding genes of dengue 1 or dengue 2 to create intertypic chimeric cDNA. The RNA transcripts...
