Abstract excerpt
Mutants of polyomavirus with altered host specificities were isolated in undifferentiated C2 myoblast cells (L. Ricci, R. Maione, C. Passananti, A. Felsani, and P. Amati, J. Virol. 66:7153-7158, 1992). The mutations responsible for this phenotype belonged to either of the two classes: a large duplication of the enhancer region or a 6-bp deletion in the VP1 coding region. Since both classes of mutations enabled...
