Multiple viral core proteins are determinants of reovirus-induced acute myocarditis.

Journal of virology - 1 Dec 1994

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we showed that the M1 gene (encoding a viral core protein, mu 2, whose function is unknown) was associated with the efficiently myocarditic phenotype of a reovirus variant, 8B. Here, we have extended our genetic analysis of 8B and conducted genetic analyses of two other reovirus strai...
