Abstract
|
We previously reported that the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) strain Mie/41/2002 has weak pathogenicity compared with the laboratory strain Beijing-1. To identify the determinants of its growth nature and pathogenicity, we produced intertypic viruses, rJEV(EB1-M41), rJEV(nEB1-M41) and rJEV(cEB1-M41), which contained the entire, the N-terminal, and the C-terminal half, respectively, of the Beijing-1 E region in the Mie/41/2002 background. The growth of rJEV(EB1-M41) in mouse neuroblastoma N18 cells and virulence in mice were similar to those of Beijing-1. rJEV(nEB1-M41) propagated in N18 cells to the same extent as did Beijing-1. Furthermore, we produced mutant viruses with single amino acid substitutions in the N-terminal half of the Mie/41/2002 E region. A Ser-123-Arg mutation in the Mie/41/2002 E protein exhibited significantly increased growth rate in N18 cells and virulence in mice. These results indicate that the position 123 in the E protein is responsible for determining the growth properties and pathogenicity of JEV.
