China for the First Time has Successfully Assembled Infected Virus Particles of Foot and Mouth Disease

Lanzhou Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) recently has completed assembly of infected clone of whole length genome of £Æ£Í£Ä£Ö £Ï£È£¯£Ã£È£Á£¯£¹£¹ and the pathogenic property of gained rescue virus is basically in line with that of parent virus. This is the first for China to successfully assemble the infected virus particles of FMD.
The successful assembly of infected virus particles of FMD has solved the problem of inconvenience of £Æ£Í£Ä£Ö experiment and made it possible to have a study of molecular pathogenic mechanism of £Æ£Í£Ä£Ö on gene level, supplying a tool and technical platform on research of structure and function as well as pathogenic mechanism of £Æ£Í£Ä£Ö genome and laying a good foundation for a deeper study and development of FMD vaccine.
