Abstract excerpt
To determine the function(s) of the PB2 protein of influenza A virus, six temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of A/Udorn/72 (H3N2) virus, each carrying a ts mutation in the PB2 gene, were analysed for virus RNA and protein synthesis. One of the mutants, ICRC27, exhibited unique phenotypes and was characterized in detail. At the non-permissive temperature, 40 degrees C, the accumulation of mRNA for each genome...
