Comparative in vivo analysis of recombinant type II feline coronaviruses with truncated and completed ORF3 region.

Comparative in vivo analysis of recombinant type II feline coronaviruses with truncated and completed ORF3 region.

Our previous in vitro comparative study on a feline coronavirus (FCoV) pair, differing only in the intactness of their ORF3abc regions, showed that the truncated ORF3abc plays an important role in the efficient macrophage/monocyte tropism of type II feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV).
