Abstract excerpt
In analyzing the molecular determinants of virulence of coxsackievirus B4, chimeric viruses were constructed from avirulent and virulent viruses. The vCB424 recombinant contained a single nucleotide substitution on an avirulent genetic background, resulting in replacement of Ser-16 of VP4 with Arg-16. Mice infected with vCB424 displayed an intermediate phenotype.
