A series of frameshift mutations within the 3a gene has been observed in culture-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). We report here that viral RNA from clinical samples obtained from SARS-CoV infected patients also contains a heterogeneous population of wild-type and mutant 3a transcripts.
在培养获得的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)中观察到3a基因内存在一系列移码突变。我们在此报告,从感染SARS-CoV的患者获得的临床样本中的病毒RNA也包含野生型和突变型3a转录本的异质群体。
