 | | Besides the study of rotavirus molecular biology, the development of an infectious RNA system will allow researchers to identify determinants of rotavirus virulence, to modify and further develop existing rotavirus vaccines, and to examine the possible usefulness of rotaviruses as vector systems for the delivery of antigens of other infectious agents to the gastrointestinal tract. |
 | | Patton, J.T., Jones, M.T., Kalbach, A.N., He, Y.-W., and Xiaobo, J. Rotavirus RNA polymerase requires the core shell protein to synthesize the double-stranded RNA genome. |
