Differential Effect of Deleting Members of African Swine Fever Virus Multigene Families 360 and 505 from the Genotype II Georgia 2007/1 Isolate on Virus Replication, Virulence, and Induction of Protection.

Abstract excerpt

African swine fever virus multigene family (MGF) 360 and 505 genes have roles in suppressing the type I interferon response and in virulence in pigs. The role of the individual genes is poorly understood. Different combinations of these genes were deleted from the virulent genotype II Georgia 2007/1 isolate. Deletion of five copies of MGF 360 genes, MGF360-10L, -11L, -12L, -13L, and -14L, and three copies of...
