Abstract excerpt
The LID strain of polyomavirus differs from other laboratory strains in causing a rapidly lethal infection of newborn C3H/Bi mice. This virulent behavior of LID was attenuated by dilution, yet at sublethal doses LID was able to induce tumors at a high frequency, like its parent virus PTA. By constructing and assaying LID-PTA recombinant viruses and by DNA sequencing, the determinant of virulence in LID was mapped...
