Abstract excerpt
Several mutants of the Mahoney strain of poliovirus type 1 have been generated by introducing mutations into the stem-loop II (SLII) structure within the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). Four of these mutants (SLII-1, -4, -5 and -6 mutants) have been characterized previously and are host-range mutants that replicate well in human HeLa cells but not in mouse cells. Two deletion mutants, SLII-2 and SLII-3,...
