Frequent Frameshift and Point Mutations in the SH Gene of Human Metapneumovirus Passaged In Vitro
22 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
During the preparation of recombinant derivatives of the CAN97-83 clinical isolate of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), consensus nucleotide sequencing of the recovered RNA genomes provided evidence of frequent sequence heterogeneity at a number of genome positions. This heterogeneity was suggestive of sizable subpopulations containing mutations. An analysis of molecularly cloned cDNAs confirmed the presence of mixed...
