The wild-type canine distemper virus (CDV) strain A75/17 induces a non-cytocidal infection in cultures of canine footpad keratinocytes (CFKs) but produces very little progeny virus. After only three passages in CFKs, the virus produced 100-fold more progeny and induced a limited cytopathic effect. Sequence analysis of the CFK-adapted virus revealed only three amino acid differences, of which one was located in each the P/V/C, M and H proteins. In order to assess which amino acid changes were responsible for the increase of infectious virus production and altered phenotype of infection, we generated a series of recombinant viruses. Their analysis showed that the altered P/V/C proteins were responsible for the higher levels of virus progeny formation and that the amino acid change in the cytoplasmic tail of the H protein was the major determinant of cytopathogenicity.
