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 glycoprotein alteration and JV virulence in neonatal mice is proposed.
