When both strains were concentrated by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 precipitation, infectivity of the ML-17 was recovered only 4.94% compared to 42.21% for the parental JaOH0566 strain, and the virion peak was very low for the ML-17 in contrast to a sharp peak for the JaOH0566 in sucrose density gradient centrifugation. When both strains were incubated with sucrose solutions, the ML-17 was slightly more labile than the JaOH0566 at high concentration of sucrose. These findings may indicate difference in the virion structure of both strains., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 31(2). p67-74, 1989}, pages = {67--74}, title = {In Vitro Difference between an Attenuated ML-17 and its Parental Virulent JaOH0566 Strain of Japanese Encephalitis Virus}, volume = {31}, year = {1989} }
