Abstract excerpt
Understanding of the molecular basis of virulence and attenuation of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is important for the development of a safe and efficacious vaccine. Prime Pac (PP) is an attenuated vaccine strain of PRRSV which is being used in our laboratories as a source of gene(s) for the generation of chimeric constructs in the background of a highly virulent PRRSV derived from...
