Abstract

A previous investigation showed that MX10 virus, recently isolated in China, belongs to the Oriental-Australian (O/A) genotype of Sindbis virus (SINV) (Wang Jinglin, 2011, ATMH). Similar to the MRE16 isolate, the prototype O/A genotype of SINV, two derivate viruses with obviously different plaque morphologies were derived from MX10 virus, which were accordingly denoted as MX10-LP and MX10-SP. MX10-LP virus exhibited higher neurovirulence in neonatal mice than MX10-SP virus. Analysis of the complete genome revealed seven nucleotide differences between MX10-LP and MX10-SP. Compared with MRE16 virus, MRE16SP virus has a deletion of 30 aa in the E2 gene (200-229), which has been shown to be the molecular basis for the different plaque morphology. However, the MX10-SP virus did not have the 30-amino-acid deletion in the E2 gene. These results demonstrate that the molecular basis for the different plaque morphology of MX10 virus, the first strain of the O/A genotype of SINV isolated from China, is different from that of the prototype MRE16 virus.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
