Key result
Single amino acid substitutions in the inner surface of capsid proteins VP1 (Thr-22-->Ile) and VP2 (Ser-31-->Thr) conferred a mouse-virulent phenotype to the mouse-avirulent PV-1/Mahoney virus.

Identifies novel poliovirus adaptation determinants in mice; leaves open relevance to human neurovirulence and attenuation.
Single amino acid substitutions on the inner surface of the capsid protein shell (VP1 and VP2) are determinants for mouse neurovirulence in poliovirus type 1.
Couderc et al. (1993) studied Poliovirus infection. Single amino acid substitutions in capsid proteins VP1 (Thr-22-->Ile) and VP2 (Ser-31-->Thr) vs. Parental mouse-avirulent PV-1/Mahoney virus was evaluated on Mouse neurovirulence. Single amino acid substitutions in the inner surface of capsid proteins VP1 (Thr-22-->Ile) and VP2 (Ser-31-->Thr) conferred a mouse-virulent phenotype to the mouse-avirulent PV-1/Mahoney virus.
