A detailed mutagenesis study of flavivirus cross-reactive epitopes using West Nile virus-like particles
20 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human flavivirus infections elicit virus species-specific and cross-reactive immune responses. The flavivirus envelope (E) glycoprotein is the primary antigen inducing protective immunity; however, the presence of cross-reactive antibodies in human sera creates problems for serodiagnosis. Using a West Nile virus-like particle system, we performed mutagenesis across all three E protein functional domains to...
