Hypothesis-generating for poliovirus antigenic variation; leaves open translation to human vaccine or escape monitoring.
The study maps the three-dimensional structure of poliovirus serotype 1 neutralizing determinants, providing insights into the generation of neutralization-resistant variants and virus-antibody interactions.
Page et al. (1988) studied Poliovirus serotype 1 (n=63). In 63 poliovirus serotype 1 isolates, mutations causing altered antigenicity clustered into distinct peptide segments located within prominent structural features of the viral surface.
