Abstract excerpt
We have constructed mouse polyomavirus mutants with deletions or insertions in the late region. These viral constructs exhibit two different phenotypes, characterized by a differential replication ability. The first type shows a twofold higher level of DNA synthesis with respect to wild type, whi...
