Abstract excerpt
The analysis of escape mutants of the avian influenza virus of H5 subtype (strain A/Mallard/Pennsylvania/10218/84) revealed the location and structure of two antigenic sites in the hemagglutinin (HA) molecule. Several escape mutants exhibited unusual features in the reactions with monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), being completely resistant in the infectivity neutralization test to the Mabs used for their selection,...
