Identification and Functional Analysis of the Novel ORF4 Protein Encoded by Porcine Circovirus Type 2
14 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the primary causative agent of porcine circovirus-associated diseases in pigs. To date, viral proteins Cap, Rep, Rep', and ORF3, encoded by the PCV2 genome, have been described. Here, transcription and translation of a novel viral gene within the PCV2 genome (designated ORF4) was determined and functionally analyzed in vitro and in vivo. Northern blot analysis indicated that...
