Homotypic echoviruses share aminoterminal VP1 sequence homology applicable for typing
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Molecular typing of enteroviruses should ideally focus on regions encoding determinants for neutralization. Mapping of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies has shown the VPI protein, in particular its aminoterminal part, encompassing the B-C loop, to be one major antigenic region. We therefore sequenced 570 nucleotides from the 5'-end of the VP1 region of the genome for all 28 echovirus prototypes, and for 61...
