    Snippet: The protocol described here is an optimized, efficient, and streamlined method for the construction and propagation of a genetically stable fulllength infectious cDNA clone as a BAC for JEV, a procedure once thought practically impossible. This same cloning strategy may also be applied to many other positive-strand RNA viruses. In general, infectious cDNA clones enable us to introduce a variety of mutations (e.g., deletions, insertions, and point.....
    Document: The protocol described here is an optimized, efficient, and streamlined method for the construction and propagation of a genetically stable fulllength infectious cDNA clone as a BAC for JEV, a procedure once thought practically impossible. This same cloning strategy may also be applied to many other positive-strand RNA viruses. In general, infectious cDNA clones enable us to introduce a variety of mutations (e.g., deletions, insertions, and point mutations) into a viral RNA genome to study their biological functions in viral replication and pathogenesis. This cDNAbased reverse genetics system makes it possible to develop and test vaccine and therapeutic candidates targeting a virulence factor(s) of a particular positive-strand RNA virus of interest. In addition, this infectious cDNA technology can also be utilized as a viral vector, capable of expressing a foreign gene(s) of interest for many applications in biomedical research.
