Abstract
The cDNAs of rabies virus (the CVS strain) encoding the structural proteins (G, N, NS, and M) were cloned. Of these clones, the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA encoding the nucleoprotein was determined to compare with those of other strains of rabies virus. The comparison confirmed that the nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences are highly conserved among strains including an avirulent strain.
