Abstract excerpt
Influenza C/ Ann Arbor/1/50-pi(C/AA-pi) virus causes persistent infections in MDCK and Wi38 cells, but sets limited, wild-type like infections in other cells. Concluding that persistence itself it dependent on the host environment, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the C/AA-pi analogous gene to the basic polymerase 2 (PB2) of influenza A virus, which is known to be a determinant for the host range. C/AA-pi...
