Generation of a Mutant Infectious Bursal Disease Virus That Does Not Cause Bursal Lesions
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
A reverse genetics system for birnavirus, based on synthetic transcripts of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) genome, was recently developed (E. Mundt and V. N. Vakharia, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:11131-11136, 1996). To study the function of the 17-kDa nonstructural (NS) protein in viral growth and pathogenesis, we constructed a cDNA clone of IBDV segment A in which the first and only initiation...
