Abstract excerpt
We have mapped a linear epitope recognized by the virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody 6-15C4 within the primary sequence of the G protein from the Evelyn-Rokitnicki-Abelseth strain of rabies virus. This was accomplished by using fragments of the rabies virus G protein and deduced amino acid sequences of neutralization-resistant variant rabies viruses. The monoclonal antibody 6-15C4 specifically recognized a...
