Sequence and growth characteristics of variant RPδ6/SIVp17(21). (A) The amplified PCR product obtained through RT-PCR from total cellular RNA prepared from the fifth consecutive passage of RPδ6/SIVp17 in HeLa cells (Fig. 4B) was subjected to sequence analysis. The variant virus had acquired a duplication of IRES and insert sequences (duplicated sequences are boxed in gray). The duplication was in frame, containing two tandem AUG codons in Kozak context (capital letters). (B) RPδ6/SIVp17(21) virus (filled diamonds) exhibited propagation kinetics in HeLa cells that resembled those of PVS-RIPO (open squares). p.i., postinfection.
