Abstract excerpt
Mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 causes a persistent productive, but nonlytic, infection of cultured glial cells. We have mutants isolated from persistently infected glial cell cultures which have been shown to be fusion-defective due to a histidine to aspartic acid mutation (H716D) near the cleavage site of the peplomer protein, S. Here, we examine the pathogenicity of these mutants and show differences in...
