Abstract excerpt
We have passaged the prototype strain of Murray Valley encephalitis virus in SW13 (human) cells, sequenced the E and M genes, and examined the virulence of the passaged virus for 21-day-old mice following intracranial and intraperitoneal inoculation. Six independent passage series were carried out: four in the presence of mouse hyperimmune ascitic fluid and two without antibody. Changes were observed in the E...
