The chimera killed mice after intracereberal inoculation, compared to the Ni-CE strain which is avirulent in mice [Ref6768:Shimizu et al., 2007]. 17010466 3029 RABVgp2 Rabies virus 1489854 9627199 RABVgp2 NP_056794.1 phosphoprotein M1 Virulence factor MUTATION: The P protein of the virulent NIshigahara strain was placed in the background of the avirulent Ni-CE rabies virus to create a chimeric rabies virus. The chimera killed mice after intracereberal inoculation, compared to the Ni-CE strain which is avirulent in mice [Ref6769:Carreer, 1992]. 1489854 3030 RABVgp3 Rabies virus 1489855 9627200 RABVgp3 NP_056795.1 M2 protein Virulence factor MUTATION: The M protein of the virulent NIshigahara strain was placed in the background of the avirulent Ni-CE rabies virus to create a chimeric rabies virus. The chimera killed mice after intracereberal inoculation, compared to the Ni-CE strain which is avirulent in mice [Ref6768:Shimizu et al., 2007]. 17010466 3031 RABVgp4 Rabies virus 1489856 9627201 RABVgp4 NP_056796.1 transmembrane glycoprotein G Virulence factor MUTATION: G protein from the virulent Nishigahara strain was recombined with the RC-HL genome an attenuated rabies virus. The chimeric virus killed mice when given by intracerebral inoculation. The RC-HL rabies virus normally is attenuated in mice, and therefore the G protein can be considered a virulence factor of rabies virus [Ref6770:Ito et al., 2001]. 11533176
