Abstract excerpt
Variations in epitopes on structural proteins of four isolates of parainfluenza virus type 4 (PIV-4) and the Mr of polypeptides in these isolates were determined by radioimmune precipitation assay with monoclonal antibodies to parainfluenza virus type 4A (PIV-4A) and type 4B (PIV-4B). Three isolates antigenically resembled the prototype PIV-4A and the sizes of their structural proteins were 72K (HN protein), 61K...
