Abstract During the outbreak of SARS in 2002 3 a prototype virus was isolated from a patient in Frankfurt Germany strain Frankfurt-1 . As opposed to all other SARS-Coronavirus strains Frankfurt-1 has a 45-nucleotide deletion in the transmembrane domain of its ORF 7b protein. When overexpressed in HEK 293 cells the full-length protein but not the variant with the deletion caused interferon beta induction and cleavage of procaspase 3. To study the role of ORF 7b in the context
