Title: Homology between the glycoproteins of vesicular stomatitis virus and rabies virus

Highly significant homology between these two proteins was detected, including identical positioning of one glycosylation site. A significant homology between the predicted amino acid sequences of vesicular stomatitis virus and influenza virus matrix proteins was also found.Read More
