Electrochemical profiling of formaldehyde-inactivated poliovirus particles demonstrated a relationship between the D-antigen concentration and the intensity of the maximum amplitude currents of the poliovirus samples. The resultant signal was therefore identified as electrochemical oxidation of the surface proteins of the poliovirus. Using registration of electrooxidation of amino acid residues of the capsid proteins, a comparative electrochemical analysis of poliovirus particles inactivated by electrons accelerated with doses of 5 kGy, 10 kGy, 15 kGy, 25 kGy, 30 kGy at room temperature was carried out.

These approaches are not optimal since they negatively affect the safety of the antigenic determinants of the inactivated particles and require additional purification stages. The most promising platforms for creating vaccines are based on pseudoviruses, i.
