Abstract excerpt
The complete RNA sequence of Sabin 3 (LED3) used in vaccine in the United States has been determined. The LED3 Sabin 3 sequence contains the attenuating mutations at bases 472 and 2034 but differs from that published by Stanway et al. (Nucleic Acids Res., 11, 5629-5643, 1983) at two other base positions, 2493 and 6061. The change at base 6061 is silent and does not affect amino acid composition. The other base, a...
