Gene Expression + Phenotype

Mx1+ strains do not express MX2 protein. The Mx2 gene in BALB/cJ and CBA/J is interrupted by an open reading frame mutation. Mutagenesis correcting the frameshift permits Mx2 expression in 3T3 cells. This protein did not inhibit influenza virus but conferred resistance to vesicular stomatitis virus.
