Construction of Reverse Genetics System for Feline Calicivirus FCV‐BJ616 and Proteomic Analysis
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.This study successfully isolated the FCV‐BJ616 strain derived from cats and established a reverse genetics system. In vivo experiments showed that rFCV‐BJ616 exhibits wild‐type virulence, leading to high fever, weight loss, and multi‐organ lesions in infected cats. Proteomic analysis indicated that both rFCV‐BJ616 and FCV‐BJ616 share similar regulatory
