Research Abstract

The rate by which spontaneous mutations occur is high in single-stranded RNA genome replication as compared to double-stranded DNA replication. The single-stranded RNA genome of poliovirus is not an exception to this high rate of mutation. One possibility for "stabilization" of the poliovirus genotype is to carry out large scale propagations of the genome as cDNA cloned into bacterial plasmids. Accordingly, we constructed full size cDNA of the Sabin 1 strain that is the safest polio vaccine strain. The virus produced in cells transfected with the cDNA showed biological characteristics indistinguishable from the parent Sabin 1 virus. Thus, we succeeded to store the genietic information of the attenuated Sabin 1 strain in double-stranded DNA.
For construction of type 2 and type 3 poliovirus vaccine strains in vitro, we took advantage of the infectious cDNA clone of type 1 poliovirus(Sabin 1 strain). Since molecular genetic analysis of the attenuation phenotype of type 1 poliovirus revealed that genome region coding for the viral capsid proteins had little correlation with neurovirulent phenotype of type 1 poliovirus, it was possible to replace the Sabin 1 genome sequence encoding the whole-coat proteins by the corresponding sequences of the Sabin 2 and Sabin 3 genomes. Indeed, the construction of such recombinant viruses was successful. The recombinant viruses were tested for their biological characteristics including monkey neurovirulence. In vitro phenotypes were found to be fairly stable after serial passages of the viruses. Furthermore, the viruses had ability to effectively elicit neutralizing antibody in monkeys and guinea-pigs.The results clearly indicated that these recombinant viruses were attenuated enough to be considered as candidate viruses of the oral polio livbe vaccines.
