Reduced virulence of a Junin virus mutant is associated with restricted multiplication in murine cells
C167, a mutant derived from the XJC13 strain of Junin virus, is highly attenuated in its pathogenic properties for newborn mice. Whereas 102 PFU of XJC13 injected intracerebrally killed 100% of two-day-old mice, the mutant showed no detectable lethality. Survival of mice infected with C167 was assoc...
