Replacement of Loop II of VP1 of the DA Strain with Loop II of the GDVII Strain of Theiler's Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus Alters Neurovirulence, Viral Persistence, and Demyelination
1998

Preserved Fulltext
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis viruses, which are murine picornaviruses, can cause central nervous system inflammatory disease. To study the role of loop II in capsid protein VP1, two mutant viruses of strain DA in which DA loop II amino acids were replaced with strain GDVII amino acids were constructed. Infection of mice with the two mutant viruses led to dramatically different patterns of disease.
