Abstract excerpt

The primary structure of the F protein of a host range mutant of the Ulster strain of Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) has been determined by nucleotide sequence analysis and compared to that of the wild type and other NDV strains. The cleavage site of the mutant had the sequence Gly-Lys-Gln-Arg-Arg...
