Rescue of synthetic analogs of respiratory syncytial virus genomic RNA and effect of truncations and mutations on the expression of a foreign reporter gene.
1 Nov 1991
Abstract excerpt
The viral genomic RNA (vRNA) of human respiratory syncytial virus is a nonsegmented negative strand that is not infectious alone. To develop methods for complementing synthetic vRNA with viral proteins, a cDNA was constructed to encode a vRNA in which all of the viral protein-coding sequences were removed and replaced with a negative-sense copy of the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene. Upon...
