Roles of the Fusion and Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Proteins in Replication, Tropism, and Pathogenicity of Avian Paramyxoviruses
17 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Virulent and moderately virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), representing avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1), cause respiratory and neurological disease in chickens and other species of birds. In contrast, APMV-2 is avirulent in chickens. We investigated the role of the fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) envelope glycoproteins in these contrasting phenotypes by designing chimeric...
