Abstract excerpt
Using gamma-ray irradiation, a pair of virulent (RP-9) and attenuated (RP-2ms) variants of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) were generated from a Taiwanese isolate, NT109. The two variants differed in plaque morphology, virus adsorption, and growth properties in BHK-21 cells: (i) RP-2ms produced smaller plaques than RP-9; (ii) RP-2ms adsorbed less efficiently to host cells but yielded a higher virus titer (burst...
