Abstract excerpt
The molecular and antigenic properties of a Sabin-like type 2 poliovirus, isolated from the stool samples of a 2-year-old agammaglobulinaemic child who developed paralysis 1 year after receiving the third dose of oral poliovirus vaccine, were analysed. The virus revealed 0.88 % genome variation in the VP1 region compared with the standard reference strain, compatible with replication of the virus in the intestine...
