Abstract excerpt
Vesicular stomatitis virus polR mutants synthesize defective RNA replication products in vitro and display growth restriction in some cultured cells (J. L. Chuang, R. L. Jackson, and J. Perrault, Virology 229:57-67, 1997). We show here that a recombinant virus carrying the polR N protein mutation (R179H) yielded approximately 100-fold- and approximately 40-fold-lower amounts of infectious virus than the wild type...
