Abstract
Genomic amplification followed by selective digestion of restriction enzymes was used to differentiate polioviruses. The method was based on conserved and variable components of the 5'-noncoding region. The differences between Sabin vaccine and wild-type viruses made it possible to identify rapidly an isolated poliovirus as vaccine-related or wild-type virus. A total of 60 isolates and strains were tested and all of them were correctly identified. This method is recommended as a sensitive, specific and rapid way to differentiate polioviruses in clinical isolates and environmental samples.Entities:
