A Novel B-Cell Epitope of Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus N Protein
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
This report describes the identification of a novel linear B-cell epitope at the N-terminus of the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) nucleocapsid (N) protein. A monoclonal antibody designated 2D2 was prepared against the IBV N protein, and a series of 23 partially overlapping, tagged fragments of the IBV N gene were expressed. These peptides and five heterogeneous IBV strains were used to identify the...
