Growth restriction of dengue virus type 2 by site-specific mutagenesis of virus-encoded glycoproteins.
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
The three flavivirus glycoproteins prM, E and NS1 are formed by post-translational cleavage and are glycosylated by the addition of N-linked glycans. NS1 may form homodimers, whereas E may form homodimers, homotrimers or heterodimers (prM-E). Modification of these processes by mutagenesis of the proteins has the potential to generate viruses that are restricted in growth and are possible vaccine candidates. Using...
