Abstract excerpt
The sequence of the glycoprotein gene of a street rabies virus was determined directly using fragments of a rabid dog brain after PCR amplification. Compared with that of the prototype strain CVS, this sequence displayed 10% divergence in overall amino acid composition. However only 6% divergence was noted in the ectodomain suggesting that structural constraints are exerted on this portion of the glycoprotein. A...
