Localization of a poliovirus type 1 neutralization epitope in viral capsid polypeptide VP1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poliovirus type 1 cDNA sequences coding for viral capsid polypeptide VP1 were inserted into the beta-lactamase sequence of Escherichia coli plasmid pBR322. Resulting recombinant plasmid pSW119 expressed in Escherichia coli a VP1-beta-lactamase fusion protein that reacted with antibodies raised against poliovirus capsid polypeptide VP1 and with a monoclonal poliovirus type 1 neutralizing antibody, C3. Deletions of various lengths were generated within the VP1 sequence. The hybrid proteins expressed by the deleted plasmids did not react any more with C3 when the region of VP1 amino acids 95-110 (poliovirus nucleotides 2,754-2,806) was deleted. Therefore, the C3 epitope responsible for virus neutralization is most probably located in this region of the capsid polypeptide.

Long-term excretion of vaccine-derived poliovirus by a healthy child.
A child was found to be excreting type 1 vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) with a 1.1% sequence drift from Sabin type 1 vaccine strain in the VP1 coding region 6 months after he was immunized with oral live polio vaccine. Seventeen type 1 poliovirus isolates were recovered from stools taken from this child during the following 4 months. Contrary to expectation, the child was not deficient in hu...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an extremely infectious and occasionally fatal viral disease with a rapid onset and a short course that affects cloven-hoofed animals and results in considerable financial losses. For this reason, availability of more reliable and efficient vaccines against Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is felt as a necessity. The purpose of this study is to develop a ...

Immunity to poliomyelitis is largely dependent on humoral neutralizing antibodies, both after natural (wild virus or vaccine) infection and after inactivated poliovirus vaccine inoculation. Although the production of local secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody in the gut mucosa may play a major role in protection, most of information about the antigenic determinants involved in neutralizati...
متن کاملMolecular basis for linkage of a continuous and discontinuous neutralization epitope on the structural polypeptide VP2 of poliovirus type 1.
We obtained neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against a continuous neutralization epitope on VP2 of poliovirus type 1 strain Mahoney by using a combined in vivo-in vitro immunization procedure. The antibody-binding site was mapped to amino acid residues within the peptide segment (residues 164 through 170) of VP2 by competition with synthetic peptide and sequencing of resistant mutants. Cross-...
متن کاملMutations in VP1 of poliovirus specifically affect both encapsidation and release of viral RNA.
The phenotypic defects of two type 1 Mahoney poliovirus mutants, termed VP1-101 and VP1-102, were caused by two different small deletions in the region of the RNA genome encoding the amino terminus of the capsid protein VP1. This portion of VP1 was unresolved in the three-dimensional structure of the poliovirion, buried within the virion, and likely to interact with the viral RNA. Both VP1-101 ...
