Abstract excerpt
SVMPA, a mutant of Sindbis virus derived by serial passage on Aedes albopictus mosquito cells maintained after infection in the presence of mycophenolic acid (MPA), is resistant not only to MPA but also to ribavirin. Both of these compounds inhibit the synthesis of GMP and thereby reduce the level of GTP. We had suggested earlier that SVMPA had become resistant to MPA because it coded for an altered RNA...
