Abstract excerpt
A pathogenic mutant of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was previously generated by passaging a non-pathogenic isolate from wild waterfowl. Velogenic mutant 9a5b (IVPI=2.67) contains three amino acid substitutions (128H, 495K and 573stop) in the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, as compared with nonpathogenic waterfowl isolate 415/91 strain, and two of these (128H and 495K) were introduced after...
