Genetic stabilization of attenuated oral vaccines against poliovirus types 1 and 3
14 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Vaccination with Sabin, a live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV), results in robust intestinal and humoral immunity and has been key to controlling poliomyelitis. As with any RNA virus, OPV evolves rapidly to lose attenuating determinants critical to the reacquisition of virulence 1–3 resulting in vaccine-derived, virulent poliovirus variants. Circulation of these variants within underimmunized...
