Reverse genetics system for generating RNA viruses and vaccines (SJ-00-0006)
- *Abstract
-
An 8 plasmid system has been developed for generating RNA viruses from cloned DNA. This system may be used to synthesize any RNA virus, preferably viruses with a negative single stranded RNA genome. This system may be used to quickly and easily generate an attenuated version of any RNA virus.
Key words: RNA viruses, reverse genetics, 8 plasmid system
