Characterization of cis -Acting and NS1 Protein-Responsive Elements in the p6 Promoter of Parvovirus B19
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
Parvovirus B19 infections are associated with diverse clinical manifestations, ranging from no symptoms to severe symptoms. The virus shows an extreme tropism for replication in erythroid progenitor cells, possibly due to the activity of the only functional promoter (p6) of the B19 virus genome in combination with both cell- and cell cycle-specific factors and the trans-activator protein NS1. As presented here,...
