Altered Growth Characteristics of Recombinant Respiratory Syncytial Viruses Which Do Not Produce NS2 Protein
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
The second gene in the 3'-to-5' gene order in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) encodes the nonstructural protein NS2, for which there is no assigned function. To study the function of NS2, we have used a recently developed reverse genetics system to ablate expression of NS2 in recombinant RSV. A full-length cDNA copy of the antigenome of RSV A2 strain under the control of a T7 promoter was modified by...
