The I22V and L72S substitutions in West Nile virus prM protein promote enhanced prM/E heterodimerisation and nucleocapsid incorporation

BACKGROUND: Amino acid substitutions I22V and L72S in the prM protein of West Nile virus Kunjin strain (WNV(KUN)) were previously shown to enhance virus secretion and virulence, but a mechanism by which this occurred was not determined. FINDINGS: Using pulse-chase experiments followed by co-immunopr...
