Abstract excerpt
Parainfluenza viruses (PIV) have been categorized into four discrete types (types 1-4), based on antigenic similarities. Here is described an evaluation of nucleoprotein (NP) sequence variability among nine patients infected with the type 1 virus. The examination of short segments of the NP sequence was sufficient to define significant variability both within and between patient samples. These data, in...
