Abstract excerpt
Stable neutralization (N) escape variants of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus were selected by anti-E2 glycoprotein monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that neutralize viral infectivity, block viral hemagglutination, and passively protect mice. The nucleotide sequence of the E1, E2, and E3 genes of four variants revealed a clustering of single mutations in a domain spanning E2-182 to E2-207. The conformation...
