Conserved nucleotide sequence of rabies virus cDNA encoding the nucleoprotein

Virus Genes. 1991 Jan;5(1):69-73. doi: 10.1007/BF00571732.

Abstract

The cDNAs of rabies virus (the CVS strain) encoding the structural proteins (G, N, NS, and M) were cloned. Of these clones, the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA encoding the nucleoprotein was determined to compare with those of other strains of rabies virus. The comparison confirmed that the nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences are highly conserved among strains including an avirulent strain.
