KBNP-0028/2000](0028) has previously been characterized, and novel amino acid residues
present in the polymerase acidic protein (PA) that likely contribute to pathogenicity toward
mammals have been identified. In the present study, our aims were to generate A/Puerto
Rico/8/34 (PR8)-derived recombinant viruses containing the 0028-PA gene with a single
amino acid mutation and to test their pathogenicity and replication ability. We found that the …
