[Direct sequencing of an amplified product from a serum sample]
Abstract
It is reported the nucleotide and amino acidic sequence of a great variability region in the dengue 2 virus genome, starting from the RNA of the original virus with no passage in the isolation systems. It is compared with the first strain of dengue 2 isolated during the 1981 epidemic with 4 passages in lactating mouse. Results show that the nucleotide sequence of serum and of strain A15 are the same.
