Abstract excerpt
We constructed a Theiler's virus mutant designated DA3304, in which the amino acid at position 101 of VP1 was changed from a threonine to an alanine. Because of this single amino acid change, DA3304 could still produce a biphasic central nervous system disease similar to that produced by the wild-type DA virus. However, DA3304 was significantly attenuated in both the acute and the chronic phases and induced...
