Jr. Romero et Ha. Rotbart, SEQUENCE-ANALYSIS OF THE DOWNSTREAM 5'-NONTRANSLATED REGION OF 7 ECHOVIRUSES WITH DIFFERENT NEUROVIRULENCE PHENOTYPES, Journal of virology, 69(2), 1995, pp. 1370-1375
The downstream 5' nontranslated regions of seven echoviruses with diff
erent neurovirulent phenotypes were amplified and sequenced. Neuroviru
lent echovirus serotypes 4, 6, 9, 11, and 30 were identical to the put
ative poliovirus in 18S rRNA binding sequence and the flanking conserv
ed sequences. Less neurovirulent echoviruses, serotypes 2 and 12, exhi
bited variations within these regions.
