Chimeric tick-borne encephalitis and dengue type 4 viruses: effects of mutations on neurovirulence in mice
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
Two new chimeric flaviviruses were constructed from full-length cDNAs that contained tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) CME or ME structural protein genes and the remaining genes derived from dengue type 4 virus (DEN4). Studies involving mice inoculated intracerebrally with the ME chimeric virus indicated that it retained the neurovirulence of its TBEV parent from which its pre-M and E genes were derived....
