Efficient analysis of nonviable poliovirus capsid mutants.
Nonviable poliovirus capsid mutants were studied by an efficient infection-transfection system. Phenotypically, nonviable poliovirus capsid mutants appear to segregate into three classes: those that form only protomers, those that can form pentamers, and one that can form completed virions.
