[ 1 ] - Nucleotide and Amino Acid Changes in HN, F and SH genes of an Iranian Mumps Virus; RS-12, Following Attenuation to Vaccine Strain

Background and Aims: Wild-type RS-12 strain of mumps virus has been isolated from an Iranian patient and has been attenuated after several serial passages. This study was designed to determine nucleotide and amino acid substitutions in the HN, F and SH genes during attenuation of the wild-type virus. Materials and Methods: Required viral samples prepared at Razi Vaccine and Serum Institute. Vi...
