West Nile Virus: A Reemerging Global Pathogen

Abstract excerpt

West Nile Virusenvelope that has been modified by the insertion of two integral membrane glycoproteins, E (53 kDa) and prM (18-20 kDa).The virion is 45 nm to 50 nm in diameter (Figure 2).Late in virus maturation, the prM protein is cleaved to M protein (8 kDa) by a cellular protease, and the M protein is incorporated into the mature virion.The genome also encodes seven nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2a, NS2a, NS3,...
