Immunoprecipitation analyses of various picornavirus-infected [human cervical carcinoma HeLA] cell lysates were performed using antisera to poliovirus type 1-specific structural and nonstructural proteins. The results showed differing patterns of antigenic conservation and divergence. The VP3 and 2C polypeptides were strongly antigenically conserved among the large majority of these viruses. This conservation was especially notable given the degree of divergence exhibited by the other viral proteins and may be due to environmental pressure exerted by interaction with the host cell. The results allowed for an analysis of the evolutionary relationship of the tested viruses. This analysis showed a particularly strong antigenic relationship betwen the proteins of the poliovirus group and coxsackievirus A21 as well as a weaker, but significant, relationship with coxsackieviruses B1 and B3.
