Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Vaccinology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Live attenuated Sabin poliovirus strains induce robust antibody responses.
  • Poliovirus capsid structure and antigenic sites are well-characterized.
  • Sabin type 1 strain is a potential vector for presenting foreign antigens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer poliovirus as a vector for displaying foreign antigenic domains.
  • To overcome limitations in the size and sequence of foreign domains that can be incorporated.
  • To explore applications in developing new recombinant vaccines.

Main Methods:

  • Manipulation of poliovirus infectious cDNA to create chimeric viruses.
  • Transfection of chimeric cDNAs into susceptible cell cultures.
