Abstract excerpt
We have mutagenized and mapped the gene encoding the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RR1) in pseudorabies virus (PRV; synonyms Aujeszky's disease virus, suid herpesvirus type 1). PRV strains carrying an oligonucleotide that leads to termination of translation of the RR1 gene are avirulent for mice. We subsequently constructed a PRV strain carrying a deletion in the RR1 gene and also a PRV strain...
