Abstract excerpt

Amino acid sequence comparisons between the capsid proteins of several human rhinovirus (HRV) serotypes identified residues potentially involved in the discrimination between the major and the minor group receptors. Amino acids conserved within minor group HRVs were substituted in a full-length c...
