TABLE 1.

rPIV3-2CT and rPIV3-2TM are not ts in LLC-MK2 cells, but inclusion of the cp45 mutations confers a nearly authentic cp45 ts phenotypea

a

Data presented are means of two experiments except values for 35°C, which are from one experiment. 

b

Numbers not in parentheses represent titer decrease; numbers in parentheses represent titer increase. Underlined values represent the lowest temperature at which there was a 100-fold reduction of virus titer compared to the titer at the permissive temperature (32°C). This restrictive temperature is referred to as the shutoff temperature. 

c

Biologically derived virus. 

d

rPIV3 in which the F and HN ORFs were replaced by those of PIV1 (43). 

e

Derivative containing the 12 cp45 mutations which lie outside of F and HN (37).
