Identification of Mutations in the NS1 Gene That Control Influenza A Virus Virulence in the Mouse Model
The genetic requirements for Influenza virus to infect and adapt to new species is largely unknown. To understand the evolutionary steps required by a virus to become virulent, a human virus (A/HK/1/68) (HK), avirulent in mice, was subjected to 20 and 21 serial lung-to-lung passages in mouse.
