Abstract excerpt
In the present study we investigated the virulence and neural spread of pseudorabies virus (PRV) strains with mutations in the gene encoding glycoprotein I (gI) in 3-week-old pigs which were intranasally infected. Mutant M303 (lambda 125, 126) lacks amino acids valine-125 and cysteine-126 in an immunodominant antigenic region of gI which contains 2 discontinuous antigenic domains, whereas mutant virus M304...
