Abstract excerpt
Mutant analysis by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme cleavage (MAPREC) was used to study sequence heterogeneity and stability in attenuated poliovirus type 3 at positions in which the vaccine virus differs from its wild-type progenitor. Of seven genomic positions tested, only two (positions 472 and 2493) show nucleotide heterogeneity. Propagation of the vaccine virus in cell cultures leads to rapid...
