G. Muyldermans et al., POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION-MEDIATED CLONING AND IN-VITRO TRANSLATION OF THE GENES-CODING FOR THE STRUCTURAL PROTEINS OF HOG-CHOLERA VIRUS, Archives of virology, 132(3-4), 1993, pp. 429-435
After amplification by PCR, the 5' region of the genome of hog cholera
virus (HCV) strain Alfort 187 was cloned and sequenced. The nucleotid
e and deduced amino acid sequences were compared with the ones of othe
r pestiviruses. By in vitro translation experiments we were able to de
monstrate the protease activity of the p 20 protein of HCV.
