Poliovirus Type 1 Capsid Protein
- Molecular classification
- Viral structural protein, Capsid protein
01
Overview
The Poliovirus Type 1 capsid protein refers to the structural proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4) that form the outer shell (capsid) of poliovirus serotype 1. The capsid protects the viral RNA genome and mediates host cell entry by interacting with the PVR (CD155) receptor. These proteins are crucial for viral infectivity and are the primary targets of neutralizing antibodies induced by polio vaccines.
