Fusion activity of flaviviruses: comparison of mature and immature (prM-containing) tick-borne encephalitis virions
1 Jun 1991
Abstract excerpt
The fusion activity of flaviviruses [tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus and Japanese encephalitis virus] was assessed by inducing fusion from without of C6/36 mosquito cells with purified virus preparations. Membrane fusion and polykaryocyte formation was observed only after incubating the viruses at acidic pH. Two groups of monoclonal antibodies reacting with distinct non-overlapping antigenic domains on the...
