Deletion of CD2-like gene from the genome of African swine fever virus strain Georgia does not attenuate virulence in swine
16 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The CD2-like African swine fever virus (ASFV) gene 8DR, (also known as EP402R) encodes for a structural transmembrane glycoprotein that has been shown to mediate hemadsorption and be involved in host immunomodulation as well as the induction of protective immune response. In addition, several natural ASFV isolates showing decreased virulence in swine has been shown to be non-hemadsorbing suggesting an...
