摘要
The Junin virus strain Candid #1 was developed as a live attenuated vaccine for Argentine haemorrhagic fever. In this paper we report the nucleotide sequences of S RNA of Candid #1 and its more virulent ancestors XJ#44 and XJ (prototype). Their relationship to Junin virus wild-type MC2 strain and other closely and distantly related arenaviruses was also examined. Comparisons of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of N and GPC genes from Candid #1 and its progenitor strains revealed some changes that are unique to the vaccine strain. These changes could be provisionally associated with the attenuated phenotype.
