Molecular Basis of Neurovirulence of Flury Rabies Virus Vaccine Strains: Importance of the Polymerase and the Glycoprotein R333Q Mutation
11 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms associated with rabies virus (RV) virulence are not fully understood. In this study, the RV Flury low-egg-passage (LEP) and high-egg-passage (HEP) strains were used as models to explore the attenuation mechanism of RV. The results of our studies confirmed that the R333Q mutation in the glycoprotein (G(R333Q)) is crucial for the attenuation of Flury RV in mice. The R333Q mutation is stably...
