Abstract excerpt
A set of four monoclonal antibodies which neutralized the infectivity of Mengo virus was used to select 20 non-neutralizable (escape) mutants. Altered amino acids were identified by sequence analyses of the capsid-coding regions of the mutant virus genomes. Mutations were found predominantly in proteins VP2 and VP3, while mutations in VP1 were detected only as second mutations. The Mengo virus VP2 mutations at...
