Abstract
VARIATION in the chemical properties of the protein coat of different strains has been used as a marker test in investigations of the genetics of polioviruses. Bengtsson, Philipson, Persson and Laurent1 recently showed that a group of these tests had a common basis. Small differences in the electrical charge of the protein of various strains of the same serotype resulted in different patterns of binding to charged adsorbents.
