Abstract excerpt
Intratypic recombinants of P2/Sabin and P2/117, a neurovirulent vaccine revertant, have been generated in vitro using infectious cDNA clones and used to demonstrate that strong determinants of the attenuation and temperature-sensitive phenotypes of P2/Sabin reside in the 5' 492 nucleotides. In this region of the genome the viruses differ only at nucleotides 437 and 481. The ts phenotype associated with the 5'...
