  1. Deletions in the E-T1 domain of DV2 were produced by site-directed PCR-based mutagenesis. The mutant viruses were screened by a DV2 mutant transfection by focus assay performed on 24-well plates in both mammal (Vero) and insect (A. Albopictus, C6/36) cells. Foci were visualized immuno-histochemically. Mutant viruses able to produce foci of infection were scored as positive (+) or negative (-) after 10 days of infection. Virus mutants giving foci in both hosts were amplified and titered to determine phenotype. AA; amino acid.
