Rescuing eGFP-Tagged Canine Distemper Virus for 40 Serial Passages Separately in Ribavirin- and Non-Treated Cells: Comparative Analysis of Viral Mutation Profiles
Due to lacking a proofreading mechanism in their RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp), RNA viruses generally possess high mutation frequencies, making them evolve rapidly to form viral quasispecies during serial passages in cells, especially treated with mutagens, like ribavirin. Canine distemper vi...
