Abstract excerpt

The XJC13 strain of Junin virus (JV) and the mouse-attenuated mutant C167 showed different GP38 peptide mapping after limited proteolysis with ficin and papain; viral infectivity of both viruses also exhibited a different susceptibility to protease treatment. A correlation between envelope glycop...
