Direct sequencing of RT-PCR products derived from cells infected with the plaque-purified virus, which had lost expression of EGFP, confirmed loss of the EGFP ORF. This strategy was further modified to construct an infectious cDNA clone of MHV with their bno see'mQ technology, in which restriction endonuclease sequences were incorporated into amplicons, such that upon enzyme treatment, the endonuclease sites were eliminated prior to in vitro ligation. In the current study, molecular clones of IBV were generated using the in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments as a template for transcription of full-length genomic RNA. Interestingly, the size of plaques with the 5a deletions, including a revertant that had completely lost the EGFP ORF, was comparable to plaques generated by our standard Beaudette cell-adapted Beaudette virus (Fig. 6B ). ./cache/cord-296364-7rp60d2m.txt ./txt/cord-296364-7rp60d2m.txt
