Abstract excerpt
The temperature-sensitive defect of mutant ts 263 of fowl plague virus (FPV) is located in the acidic polymerase (PA) gene and is due to a single base substitution (C2036T), which leads to an amino acid replacement (Ala671 to Val) in a highly conserved region of the protein. During passage at 33 degrees C ts 263 stably carries over a ninth RNA segment, which consists of a truncated PA gene. Although the deletion...
