New SARS Protein Linked To Important Cell Doorway

...orf7a has been genetically knocked out. Scientists hope to use it to learn what orf7a does for the virus and how important it is to the virus' ability to survive and reproduce. "If knocking out orf7a significantly attenuates the virus, we may able to look at the possibility of using it to make a SARS vac...
