Table 3 Mutations accrued in the C-prM-E genes of MODV-WNV(prM-E) during transfection and passage in designated cell types

From: Substitution of the premembrane and envelope protein genes of Modoc virus with the homologous sequences of West Nile virus generates a chimeric virus that replicates in vertebrate but not mosquito cells
