In the context of viral host switching, it is interesting that several SARS-CoV proteins encoded on subgenomic (sg) RNAs seem to be dispensable for virus replication in cultured cells of primate or rodent origin, as well as in rodent models [17] [18] [19] . Both BACs were sequenced, confirming presence of all marker mutations and absence of any further mutations (refer to Influence on apoptosis and type I interferon induction by overexpression of ORF 7a, ORF 7b, and ORF 7b with the Frankfurt-1-specific deletion Interferon beta promoter-specific reporter gene expression (y-axis), shown as the factor of induction as compared to the mock-transfected, non-superinfected control (see below). ./cache/cord-304058-i8cywew0.txt ./txt/cord-304058-i8cywew0.txt
