Abstract excerpt
To help understand the mechanism of pathogenesis of dengue virus (DV), we set out to create an infectious cDNA of the Brazilian prototype strain of DV serotype 1 (DV1-BR/90). PCR-amplified fragments of DV1-BR/90 cDNA were readily assembled into a subgenomic cDNA that could be used to produce replicating RNAs (replicons), lacking the structural protein-encoding regions of the genome. However, assembly of a cDNA...
