Abstract excerpt
We previously described the characteristics of a type 1/type 2 (PV-1/PV-2) chimeric poliovirus, v510, which contains the six amino acids specific for PV-2 in the B-C loop of VP1. This virus was found to be mouse-adapted, as PV-2 and in contrast with PV-1. Determinants of host range were studied in detail and are reported here. PV-1/PV-2 chimeras containing partial PV-1----PV-2 substitutions in the B-C loop of VP1...
