Attenuation of influenza A virus mRNA levels by promoter mutations.
We have engineered influenza A/WSN/33 viruses which have viral RNA (vRNA) segments with altered base pairs in the conserved double-stranded region of their vRNA promoters. The mutations were introduced into the segment coding for the neuraminidase (NA) by using a reverse genetics system. Two of the...
