Summary A modified agar gel diffusion precipitation test, using the addition of first heterologous and then homologous antigens, has been employed successfully for the serologic differentiation of wild and vaccine strains of poliovirus types 1 and 2. The results of identification of 50 type 1 and 56 type 2 strains were in complete agreement with those obtained with the conventional methods ofMcBride andWecker. The existence of qualitative antigenic differences between wild and vaccine strains of poliovirus has been demonstrated. The new method for the serologic intratypic differentiation of poliovirus types 1 and 2 is much simpler and more convenient than the procedures recommended byWecker andMcBride.
