Abstract excerpt
We mapped three antigenic domains of continuous epitopes on human cytomegalovirus (CMV) glycoprotein B (gB) by reacting a panel of independently derived monoclonal antibodies with deletion mutants expressed transiently in COS-1 cells. One of these antigenic domains, DC2, maps in the last 75 amino acids of the carboxy terminus. These epitopes are conserved in strains Towne and AD169, as well as in 19 clinical CMV...
