Abstract excerpt
Selection and analysis of MHV-4 (strain JHM) variants resistant to E2-specific neutralizing MAbs was performed. Two types of variation in the E2 spike glycoprotein were found. From minimally passaged stocks of MHV-4, putative point mutants were obtained. These mutants were resistant only to the MAb used to select them. In contrast, multiply passaged stocks were found to harbor variants uniformly resistant to two...
