Molecular mechanisms of poliovirus persistence: key role of capsid determinants during the establishment phase.

Abstract excerpt

As viral persistence is of major medical importance, well-characterized, simple models are needed to improve our understanding of persistent infections. We have chosen to study the molecular mechanisms of viral persistence with the poliovirus (PV), because this picornavirus is one of the best characterized animal viruses, it infects the central nervous system which is a target organ for viral persistence, and it...
