Recovery of infectious murine norovirus using pol II-driven expression of full-length cDNA

Abstract excerpt

Noroviruses are the major cause of nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. These viruses have remained refractory to detailed molecular studies because of the lack of a reverse genetics system coupled to a permissive cell line for targeted genetic manipulation. There is no permissive cell line in which to grow infectious human noroviruses nor an authentic animal model that supports their replication. In contrast,...
