Infectious cDNAs of the Sabin type 2 poliovirus vaccine virus and a vaccine-derived neurovirulent type 2 strain (P2/117) have been cloned in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that P2/117 differs from the vaccine strain by just 23 point mutations. Three occur in the 5' noncoding region. The remainder result in a total of 5 coding changes located in VP1, VP4, 2B, and 3D. The likely role of these mutations in the evolution to neurovirulence is discussed.
脊髓灰质炎病毒疫苗株萨宾2型和一株疫苗衍生的2型神经毒力株(P2/117)的感染性cDNA已在大肠杆菌中克隆。核苷酸序列分析显示,P2/117与疫苗株仅存在23个点突变差异。其中3个发生在5'非编码区。其余突变导致位于VP1、VP4、2B和3D的总共5个编码变化。文中讨论了这些突变在向神经毒力进化过程中可能发挥的作用。
