Discrimination of Mumps Virus Small Hydrophobic Gene Deletion Effects from Gene Translation Effects on Virus Virulence
7 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein of certain paramyxoviruses has been found to result in attenuation, suggesting that the SH protein is a virulence factor. To investigate the role of the mumps virus (MuV) SH protein in virulence, multiple stop codons were introduced into the open reading frame (ORF) of a MuV molecular clone (r88-1961(SHstop)), preserving genome structure but precluding production of...
