Abstract excerpt
Live attenuated strains of the Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus are known to form in various cultured cells. In this study, we selected attenuated JE virus variants by passing the parent virus strains once through Neuro-2a cells, showing that the selection intensity ranged 2-1000-fold after infection for 3d. The selection of attenuated variants appeared in association with mutations on the envelope (E)...
