Abstract excerpt
Rift Valley fever viruses carrying mutations of the M gene preglycoprotein region, one lacking NSm protein expression, one lacking 78-kDa protein expression, and one lacking expression of both proteins, were compared in cell culture. All of the mutants and their parent virus produced plaques with similar sizes and morphologies in Vero E6 cells and had similar growth kinetics in Vero, C6/36, and MRC5 cells,...
