Abstract

In order to construct a full-length infectious cDNA clone of porcine astrovirus, three fragments covering the complete genome of PAstV1-GX1 strain were amplified by RT-PCR. All three PCR-amplified fragments were cloned into T-Vector pMD19 (Simple), and subsequently assembled into a full-length cDNA clone by subcloning. A silent nucleotide change creating a PstI site was engineered into the full-length cDNA clone to distinguish the rescued virus from the parental virus. Upon transfection of BHK-21 cells with the in vitro transcripts of both the original and constructed cDNAs, typical cytopathic effects were observed on PK-15 cells after serial passaging of the cell supernatant. The construction and recovery of the infectious cDNA clone of porcine astrovirus will provide a valuable experimental system to study the genome function and pathogenesis of astroviruses.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 May 2018.
All research outputs
#20,516,195
of 23,083,773 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Virology
#3,420
of 4,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#408,354
of 474,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Virology
#74
of 96 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,083,773 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,215 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 474,615 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 96 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
