Abstract excerpt
Translation of hepatitis A virus (HAV) RNA is controlled by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) located within the 5' untranslated region (UTR). In some cell types, the characteristically slow growth of HAV may be due to inefficient viral translation. We investigated whether this is true in MRC-5 cells, which are used for vaccine production. We measured the impact of two clusters of mutations in the 5' UTR on...
