Monkey B-lymphotropic papovavirus (LPV) replicates only in B-lymphoblastoid cells, whereas the LPV mutant 76 (LPV-76) can grow in either B- or T-lymphoblastoid cells. The nucleotide sequence of the wild-type LPV PstI B segment was compared with that of LPV-76 PstI-B, within which the mutation responsible for the extended host range had been located. The VP-1 coding region of LPV-76 was found to have mutations, single-base substitutions causing three amino acid substitutions.
猴嗜B淋巴细胞乳头瘤病毒(LPV)仅在B淋巴母细胞中复制,而LPV突变体76(LPV - 76)能够在B或T淋巴母细胞中生长。将野生型LPV PstI B片段的核苷酸序列与LPV - 76 PstI - B的核苷酸序列进行了比较,导致宿主范围扩大的突变就位于LPV - 76 PstI - B中。发现LPV - 76的VP - 1编码区存在突变,即单碱基替换导致三个氨基酸替换。
