Abstract excerpt
Mutants of poliovirus (PV) with highly modified biological properties can be selected in vitro in cells of neural origin. Mutations accumulate in the genome of type 1 PV strains selected in human neuroblastoma cells, modifying cell specificity and conferring to the virus the ability to persist in such nonneural cells as HEp-2c (Pelletier et al., Virology 180, 729 1991). With this cell system, we have both parent...
