Comparison of pathogenicity of R-DK/49, R-GS/65 and their derived mutants at the residues of 224 and 383 of PA protein in mice. Six-week-old female BALB/c mice (n = 5/group) were intranasally inoculated with 50 μl of the recombinant avian H5N1 viruses created by reverse genetics and monitored for 14 days for mortality. The MLD50 was calculated using the method of Reed and Muench. (A), R-DK/49; (B), DK/49-PA224S; (C), DK/49-PA383N; (D), DK/49-PA224S + 383N; (E), R-GS/65; (F), GS/65-PA224P; (G), GS/65-PA383D; (H), GS/65-PA224P + 383D.
