Rescue of the 1947 Zika Virus Prototype Strain with a Cytomegalovirus Promoter-Driven cDNA Clone 2016-09-28 .txt text/plain 4857 241 50 High levels of infectious virus were produced following transfection of the plasmid bearing the wild-type MR766 ZIKV genome, but not one with a disruption to the viral nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) polymerase active site. Multicycle growth curve and plaque assay experiments indicated that the MR766 virus resulting from plasmid transfection exhibited growth characteristics that were more similar to its parental isolate than previously published 2010 Cambodia and 2015 Brazil cDNA-rescued ZIKV. Indeed, sequence analysis of bacterial plasmid clones of these RT-PCRs demonstrated that all products from wild-type plasmid-transfected cell RNA lacked the inserted intron (Fig. 3B) . In contrast to parental virus RT-PCR products (Fig. 3B) , these sequences carried a single silent G3127A mutation that was inserted during intron cloning, which indicated that these RNAs were generated from the MR766 plasmid. The addition of supernatants from wild-type plasmid-transfected or parental virus-infected 293T cells resulted in readily detectable levels of viral proteins. ./cache/cord-311007-0i1abjfa.txt ./txt/cord-311007-0i1abjfa.txt
