Poliovirus type 1 neurovirulence is difficult to analyze because of the 56 mutations which differentiate the neurovirulent Mahoney strain from the attenuated Sabin strain. We have isolated four neurovirulent mutants which differ from the temperature-sensitive parental Sabin 1 strain by only a few mutations, using selection for temperature resistance: mutant S137C1 was isolated at 37.5.degree. C, S138C5 was isolated at 38.5.degree. C, and S139C6 and S139C10 were isolated at 39.5.degree. C. All four mutants had a positive reproductive capacity at supraoptimal temperature (Rct+ phenotype). Mutant S137C1 induced paralysis in two of four cynomolgus monkeys, and the three other mutants induced paralysis in four of four monkeys. The lesion score increased from the S137C1 mutant to the S139 mutants. To map the mutations associated with thermoresistance and neurovirulence, we sequenced all regions in which the Sabin 1 genome differs from the Mahoney genome. The S137C1 mutant had one mutation in the 5'' noncoding region and another in the 3'' noncoding region. Mutant S138C5 had these mutations plus another mutation in the 3D polymerase gene. The S139 mutants had three additional mutations in the capsid protein region. The mutations were located at positions at which the Sabin 1 and the Mahoney genomes differ, except for the mutation in the 5'' noncoding region. The noncoding-region mutations, apparently confer a low degree of neurovirulence. The 3D polymerase mutation, which distinguishes S138C5 and S139 mutants from S137C1, is probably responsible for the high neurovirulence of S138C5 and S139 mutants. The capsid region mutations may contribute to the neurovirulence of the S139 mutants, which was the highest among the mutants.
