Abstract excerpt
Epitopes recognized by nine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) on the envelope protein, gp53, of two strains of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (NADL and Oregon C24V) were mapped by competitive binding assays and by the characterization and sequence analyses of mAb neutralization escape mutants. This defined an antigenic domain on gp53 that was shared by many BVDV strains, while other less conserved epitopes were possibly...
