 | | Since the Mononegavirales have not been observed to undergo homologous recombination, gene rearrangement is predicted to be irreversible, and therefore, the present invention provides a rational, alternative method for developing stably attenuated live vaccines against the non-segmented negative strand RNA viruses. |
 | | For the mumps and parainfluenza viruses, the distal gene that encodes a surface glycoprotein is referred to as the HN (hemagglutinin/neuraminidase) gene. |
 | | Representative examples of viruses of the order Mononegavirales are a Rhabdovirus, such as rabies virus or vesicular stomatitis virus, a Paramyxovirus, such as measles, mumps, parainfluenza virus or respiratory syncytial virus (human and bovine), or a Filovirus, such as Ebola virus or Marburg virus. |
