To facilitate the genetic manipulation of the viral genome, genes were separated by duplication of transcription regulating sequences (TRSs) and introduction of unique restriction endonuclease sites at the 5′ end of each gene using an infectious cDNA clone. All the rTGEV viruses conserved the modifications engineered in the cDNAs (data not shown), indicating that the ORF separation and the insertion of unique endonuclease restriction sites between genes were stably maintained in the rTGEV genomes. Interestingly, analysis of viral growth in the gut of infected piglets showed a 100-to 5000-fold reduction of recombinant viruses containing one or more restriction sites in relation to the rTGEV-wt virus ( Fig. 5D and E) . ./cache/cord-290282-oxyzndsj.txt ./txt/cord-290282-oxyzndsj.txt
