Abstract excerpt
Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause an immune-mediated disease that is fatal to felines, but there is a lack of clinically effective protection conferred by vaccines. The methyltransferase (MTase) activity of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins nsp14 and nsp16 affects virulence, but there are no studies on the effect of nsp14 and nsp16 mutations affecting enzyme activity on the virulence of...
