Abstract excerpt
In a previous outbreak of the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), we identified a variant strain of genotype BA9 with a seven-amino-acid extension (Q-R-L-Q-S-Y-A) at the C-terminus of the attachment protein (G). To assess the impact of this extension on the virulence of HRSV, two full-length infectious clones using the wild strain of genotype BA9 as a backbone, one containing the seven-amino-acid extension...
