Abstract excerpt
Two small plaque variants of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), S4P9 and S9P10, were recovered from the wild type of JEV strain KE-093 using plaque purification in combination with the temperature-shift induction technique. Growth patterns of the S4P9 and S9P10 in BHK-21 cells as well as neurovirulence in suckling mice were similar to that of KE-093. An amino acid substitution, lysine for glutamic acid, was...
