Abstract excerpt
The diabetogenic D variant of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC-D) was previously shown to differ from the non-diabetogenic B variant (EMC-B) by 14 nucleotides out of 7829 bases. Similar approaches with a new nondiabetogenic variant, EMC-DV1, obtained by plaque purification of the EMC-D variant stock pool, enabled us to narrow down further the possible genomic area responsible for the diabetogenicity of EMC virus....
